Instructions

Combine Liquids and Sweeteners: In a large mixing bowl or punch bowl, combine the chilled brewed coffee, whole milk, chocolate syrup, granulated sugar (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well mixed and the sugar is fully dissolved, providing a smooth base for your punch.
Fold in Ice Creams: Gently fold in the softened coffee and vanilla ice creams into the liquid mixture. Stir carefully until mostly combined, which will create a creamy, frothy texture reminiscent of a float or frappe.
Serve Immediately: Pour the punch into punch glasses or mugs right away to enjoy it at its best texture and temperature. This drink is best served cold and freshly mixed.
Garnish: Top each serving with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle crushed peppermint or chocolate shavings on top for added festive flair and flavor if desired.

Notes

For an adult version, add a splash of Kahlúa, Irish cream, or bourbon to the punch.
For a festive presentation and to keep the punch cold without diluting it, freeze some of the punch mixture in an ice cube tray and add those before serving.
You can adjust the sugar amount or omit it altogether depending on your preferred sweetness level.
Softening the ice cream slightly before folding helps achieve a smooth and well-incorporated texture.
