Yield: 20-25 servings (about 5 quarts)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 quarts water
1/2 cup instant chocolate drink mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup instant coffee granules
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream
1 cup whipped cream, whipped chocolate curls (optional)
DIRECTIONS: In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add drink mix, sugar and coffee; stir until dissolved. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. About 30 minutes before serving, pour into a punch bowl. Add ice cream by spoonfuls; stir until partially melted. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and chocolate curls if desired.
Christmas 2007 was the first time I tried this punch. I used it at our Christmas party and it was so pretty in the punch bowl. It looked like a giant chocolate milkshake. It really disappeared fast. I highly recommend it if you like chocolate shakes. I found it in the “Country Catalogue.”
