Have you ever thought...hey, if I could just have an iced coffee right now my life would be complete?
I know. I totally get that. I think it daily...or thought it daily I should say.
I am happy to say my life is complete. I can die happily now, blended coffee in hand.
So, I saw this fabulous recipe for iced coffee over at Pioneer Woman's blog.
Her recipes are just ridiculously good,
and this coffee was no different.
First, she gives instructions on steeping some cold coffee and keeping in the fridge...cold coffee on hand 24/7.
You then add ice, half and half, and sweetened condensed milk.
And I loved it....except for when I got to the bottom, I felt like I was drinking one big glop of SCM (sweetened condensed milk).
And that was not good.
SOOOOOO, I put my own little spin on it.
Here's goes.
If you have one of those Magic Bullet things, great! If not, just use your blender.
Fill it with ice and your cold coffee.
Add a splash of half-and-half or milk...whatever you like.
Next, add two or three tablespoons SCM...ya, I never said this was good for you.
Then, hook it up to the ol' Magic Bullet.
Or if you're me, your generic brand Magic Bullet. I prefer it.
It's way less Magic-y or Bullet-y. My fave!
And blend that baby...
Oh, sweet day! This is so good! If you get addicted, don't call me.
I'm passing on all lawsuits to PW :)
Dumping those sweet contents into a mason jar or fun glass and adding a sweet paper straw is sure to make it taste better. I'm convinced that cuter tastes better.
Oh ya...it's Friday, Friday....
How in the world did that happen?!
Do you have big plans?
I'm working on a few projects...hopefully will have something fun to show you next week.
Either way, you should be carrying around a blended coffee this weekend...just sayin'.
ok...see ya!

Oh My...YUM!!!!
Mmm! Must try!
i am afraid to start blending mine - need to avoid more addiction to iced coffee.
(also, if you mix everything together in the pitcher like i posted last week, there is no gloppitiness at the bottom.)
YUM-O! I'm off to brew more coffee so I have some left over! I just bought cute paper straws! I agree- cute definitely taste better! Happy day to you my friend!
i think all the time how perfect life would be if i just had some ice coffee :o) this looks so yummy, refreshing, and like such a treat!
Looks delish!
Have a fun weekend.
I am drinking a glass of this famous Pioneer Woman's recipe right now! Except, I have to say, I have stayed away from the sweetened condensed milk. Instead, I use Splenda to keep the calories down. Great idea to blend...
what exactly does the condensed milk do?
Alicia!! I TOTALLY have been searching and searching for recipes online, and yesterday morning I found a DELICOUS one, so needless to say my day was filled with tweeking my new found iced coffee drink to get it juuuuuusssst right! how ironic!! aren't they just about the best thing ever?!
Where on earth do you get paper straws?
dara, etsy!! etsy has everything!!
I want one! Yummeh for the tummeh :D
We just tried the PW iced coffee yesterday and I LOVED it. We used fat-free Eagle Brand and it was good ... but you're right, you have to keep stirring or else it settles. I'll have to try your blended version.
I just saw her recipe and posted my own on my blog- but we had the same problem with the SCM! You are genius! Going to try this in the morning. :)
Also, can I feature this on my blog?
