This is scheduled for tonight; sounds like a good dessert to me!

Serves 4 (approximately 6 oz. serving)
1/4 cup black coffee (room temperature)
1/4 cup milk
1 cup chocolate ice cream
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup crushed ice (or smallest cubes possible)
2 tbsps chocolate syrup
Cinnamon, for dusting

Optional
*Milk options: whole milk, skim milk, soy milk, etc.
4 tsp of sugar or two packets of sugar substitute
Extra scoops of ice cream, for garnish
Whipped cream, for topping


Place black coffee, milk, ice cream, almond extract and crushed ice in blender jar. Add sugar or sugar substitute only if desired.
With blender lid securely closed, pulse blender until mixture is smooth. If blades get stuck, add a little more milk.
Pour 1 Tablespoon of chocolate syrup into the bottom of each glass. (This makes the drink look and taste even more delectable.)
Divide the coffee frappe between your glasses and dust with cinnamon. Serve immediately!
If you’re feeling indulgent, top your frappe with an additional scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, or both! Also, try vanilla ice cream with vanilla extract.
