Cold Coffee Ideas You Can Have For Dessert

When the heat is too stifling to enjoy your morning coffee, try making iced coffee! Iced coffee can be just as good a wake-me-up beverage as a hot one! In fact, did you know that 1 cup cold-brewed coffee has about the same amount of caffeine as the 1 cup hot brewed cup of coffee? 

That just proves that you can have your coffee in any number of ways! Here are refreshingly cold dessert recipes using coffee that you can make and eat, so you don't have to drink your coffee hot if you don't want to:

5 Easy Coffee Ice Cream Recipe 

Ice cream is easy to make at home. There's no need for it to rival the artisanal ice cream churned from grass-fed cows' milk.
