Chocolate Chip Cookie Coffee Smoothie and Ice Pops

DIY Chocolate Chip Cookie Coffee Smoothie

I just got back from a tropical trip to Costa Rica with six of my dearest and oldest girlfriends and their burgeoning young families. These are the kind of friends you see after months of not talking to each other and you zing right back to where you left off. Do you have some of these in your life? These are the friends that have been friends so long, they are your family. Spending time with them makes me nostalgic for our younger, carefree days.

With great joy, I watched our daughters spend time together the way we used to when we were young. Remember those days when the most important thing was just hanging out? Back then, my friends and I listened to music, played games, read books side by side, and baked in the kitchen as if it were our job. I dearly remember how through diligent practice, my closest friend, Amanda, and I got the Nestle Toll House® Cookie dough recipe down to 9 minutes flat. This was, of course, so we could tell my mom that there was always plenty of time to make a batch! There was nothing like that chocolate chip cookie smell filling the kitchen to make us feel close and conspiratorial. Here we are, partners in crime, over 30 years ago in South Minneapolis!

When I heard that Coffee-Mate makes Toll House® Chocolate Chip Cookie flavored creamer, I got excited about bringing it with me to Costa Rica to celebrate friendship and old times together. I wanted to make some fun, cool treats that we could enjoy on our tropical vacation. Fab flavored Frozen Coffee Smoothie? Coffee Ice Pops? Yes, please!

These frozen coffee ice pops were perfect for those hot mornings after staying up late chatting, dining and dancing.

I made some with milk, too, for the kiddos to enjoy. They became a much-clamored for pool-side snack.

At first, I was a little bit wary that the flavors might be too sweet or fakey, but mixed with delicious Costa Rican coffee or creamy milk, the taste was delicious, reminiscent of those cherished cookie afternoons. Coffee-Mate also makes Caramel Macchiato and Classic Vanilla flavors, which would be yummy in either the ice pop or the smoothie.

Luckily, all we had to do on this trip was sit around and catch up, just like the good old days! The bonus is that these flavored coffee treats will bring back that close-friend-feeling on any given, warm summer afternoon long after we’ve all gone home.
