Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve sugar and instant coffee granules in boiling water.
- Chill the mixture overnight in a glass jar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules. If you're looking for a lighter version, substitute the chocolate ice cream with a dairy-free or lower-fat alternative. Ensure that the sugar fully dissolves in the boiling water for a smooth mixture. Chill the coffee mixture for 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Southern Style Coffee Supreme in tall glasses, topped with generous dollops of sweetened whipped cream. This dessert pairs beautifully with Chocolate 'N Oat Bar for added texture. For a fun twist, sprinkle some chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top for an elegant presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To reheat, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. You can also microwave individual servings for 15-20 seconds to soften it slightly, but avoid overheating to maintain the texture.
