- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
- 2 scoops Vanilla or mint-chocolate chip ice cream

Instructions
Brew a cup of strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. This step can be done in advance and the coffee stored in the refrigerator.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup into the bottom of a tall glass.
Pour the cooled coffee into the glass, leaving some space at the top.
Add 2 scoops of vanilla or mint-chocolate chip ice cream on top of the coffee.
Drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup over the ice cream.
Gently spoon the whipped mint cream over the top of the float for an extra creamy layer.
If desired, sprinkle crushed mint chocolates or chocolate shavings over the top and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy your Chocolate Mint Coffee Float!
