This Caramel Coffee Float is an indulgent coffee drink packed with ice cream, caramel, and chocolate. A truly caffeinated bliss!
This is my favorite way to beat the Summer heat!! A big cup of freshly brewed espresso with ice cream. Oh yeah… the ice cream melts and sweeten the coffee. Perfection!!!
Let’s be honest… this overly tired but very contented mama needs coffee! But as much as I love hot coffee, it gets to be too much in the summer with the sun beating down with temperatures in the 90s. So If you’re nodding your head vigorously and sighing sympathetically as you read this, then I have the recipe for you.
Meet my Caramel Coffee Float!! ↓↓↓
If you want a fancier name you can call it Caramel Affogato. Either way, this is quite genius; instead of using sugar and regular milk, half and half, or cream in your coffee, you use ice cream. The result is a rich, creamy, and delicious cup of caffeinated bliss.
This time I used Blue Bunny® Salted Caramel Craze Ice Cream, which is sea salt caramel ice cream with sea salt caramel swirls and chocolaty sea salt caramel bunnies. I love the Blue Bunny new logo and clear packaging (you can see the goodness inside).
You could spike it with a shot of booze, like Amaretto or Frangelico. But since I use to drink it at mid-day I just add a little of caramel syrup for an extra caramel dosis {wink}.
