Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g / 1.06 oz) plain cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g / 0.42 oz) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (5 g / 0.18 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and a strong, high-quality cold brew or chilled espresso.

Method
 

  1. Place the cold brewed coffee, softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cream cheese remain.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container.
  4. Freeze for 2 hours, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and encourage a creamy, scoopable texture.
  5. Serve chilled directly from the freezer.
  6. Don't skip the intermittent stirring during the freezing process. This is the key to achieving a smooth, granita-like texture instead of a solid ice block.
  7. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. You can easily substitute the granulated sugar with maple syrup or a powdered sweetener for a different flavor profile.
