Ingredients

  • 4 cups brewed strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Chocolate shavings or holiday sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the Coffee Base
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the brewed coffee, milk, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and heat the mixture until it is warm (but do not let it boil).

2. Add the Cocoa and Spices
Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the sugar and cocoa powder are completely dissolved, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Serve
Pour the warm coffee punch into mugs for a comforting, cozy treat. If you prefer a cold version, let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice for a refreshing twist.

4. Garnish
Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or holiday sprinkles for a festive touch.

Enjoy

Tips

  • For Extra Festive Flair: Add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream for even more holiday flavor.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the coffee punch ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat before serving (or serve chilled for a cold version).
  • Spiked Version: For an adult version, add a splash of your favorite liqueur like Baileys Irish Cream, KahlĂșa, or a bit of spiced rum!

Enjoy this cozy, holiday-inspired beverage with friends and family!
