Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by brewing a strong pot of coffee—aim for about 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
Once the coffee is cooled slightly, stir in the half & half, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended coffee mixture into freezable containers and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
Before serving, let the container sit out for about 10-15 minutes to soften the slush.
Serve generous portions into tall glasses and top with whipped topping.
