True story: mochas were the gateway to my coffee addiction. In my early teen days, a mocha mid-afternoon with a chewy cookie (hello sugar overload!) was not uncommon. Eventually, mochas turned into lattes, and later lattes into coffee with a splash of milk, and now I can just drink the stuff black — cold brewed.
While I can’t remember the last time I ordered a mocha from my local barista, the flavor melody of chocolate and coffee will never go out of style. Let’s just put it out there: coffee ice cream with chocolate chunks, my favorite. Dark chocolate with crunchy coffee bean pieces, give me a piece please.
That said, now that the temperatures are hitting triple digits again this week, a hot, rich, dairy-ladden mocha is not in my immediate future. Cool coffee + chilly chocolate “ice cubes”, now that’s how you can satisfy a mocha craving mid-summer.
To make an easy as breeze, two-ingredient iced mocha: 1) freeze Chocolate Almond Breeze in an ice tray; 2) fill a glass 3/4 full with frozen chocolate ice cubes; 3) pour refrigerated coffee (the darker the better, in my opinion) over ice & enjoy!
Cheers to summer and chilled, caffeinated, chocolate-y cups of coffee.

Those coffee bean ice cubes are SO cute!
I second that. Love those ice cubes!
I have been making this in the afternoon and loving it! The chocolate taste is so yummy!
Frozen chocolate ice cubes?! Ummm YES PLEASE. They are so cute and look so yummy. Also, are they in the shape of coffee beans? That’s amazing.
At first I was like, what are those giant coffee beans?! Those ice cubes are adorable!
Those ice cubes are amazing, oh my gosh! I’m having a brunch wedding that has some coffee themed touches, and I seriously need to consider these!
Brunch wedding — what a unique idea!
Oh man, I want to eat those ice cubes so bad! Such a great idea!!
I especially like the “Do Not Freeze” on the top of the almond milk carton… rebel! :)
Pretty sure I need to get chocolate almond milk JUST for this drink. Holy yum! And those ice cubes?! How freaking adorable.
