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

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.
