Inspired by my husband and friends, I decided to try making cold brew coffee. Although I am not a coffee drinker - I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine - coffee ice cream is one of my very favorite things to eat. Because of this, I was curious enough to want to see what the hype was about.
The verdict? It was so delicious (with generous amounts of dairy and sugar of course,) that I thought it would make a great popsicle.
Materials:
- Cold brew coffee (see recipes #1, #2, #3)
- Half and half
Methods:
- I used approximately 1:1 ratio of the ingredients. If you added enough brown sugar or simple syrup to the coffee, no need to add here.
Result:
Appearance: Nice subtle, even coffee color; the cinnamon (from the cold brew recipe, which sank) was sprinkled at the top
Texture: A really nice combination of icey and creamy (similar to Korean ice pops, if you know what I mean)
Flavor: Awesome sophisticated coffee flavor, without losing the fun of being a popsicle.
This one is definitely a keeper. Even though I will probably be enjoying this as a 'breakfast popsicle' until I make a decaf version, that won't stop me!
