Frozen Irish Coffee

Directions

1. 1Whisk the whiskey, cooled coffee, condensed milk, and water until smooth.
2. 2The condensed milk adds both sweetness and the sugar needed to freeze.
3. 3Pour the mixture into the Slushi vessel below the max line.
4. 4Lock the lid and choose the SPIKED SLUSH preset.
5. 5Let it churn until creamy and frozen, about 42 minutes.
6. 6Dispense, top with whipped cream, and dust with cocoa.

Tips

• Pour your cooled, sweetened condensed milk mixture into the Slushi bowl at room temperature, not cold, so the machine can properly churn and freeze it to the right slushy texture.
• If your slush comes out too thin, it likely needs more time churning, so give it an extra 10-15 minutes before dispensing.
• Stir in the Irish whiskey last, right before pouring into the bowl, to keep the alcohol content balanced and help the machine churn evenly.

Variations

• Use cold brew concentrate instead of regular brewed coffee for a deeper, less acidic flavor that pairs well with the sweetness.
• Swap the sweetened condensed milk for dulce de leche for a richer, caramel-forward version that tastes like Irish coffee dessert.

FAQ

Can I make this lighter or less sweet?

Yes, replace half the sweetened condensed milk with regular cold milk or cream, which gives you a smoother texture while cutting the sweetness. You can also reduce the whiskey if you prefer, though it helps balance the condensed milk's richness.

What if my slush won't freeze or come out too watery?

Make sure you're pouring room temperature liquid into the bowl, not pre-chilled, and let the machine churn for the full 20-60 minutes. If it's still watery, your bowl might not be cold enough; run the machine empty for 5 minutes before adding your liquid.

Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed?

Yes, dissolve instant coffee in a bit of hot water, then let it cool completely before mixing with the condensed milk and water. Use about half the amount you would for brewed coffee and adjust to taste.

How long can I keep the finished slush in the machine?

The slush stays best for about an hour after it finishes churning. After that, it can separate or get icy; for longer storage, pour it into a freezer container and refreeze, though you may need to churn it again to get back the smooth texture.
