It all started when I went to make this for my morning coffee. (Hey, it was a rough week and a little alcohol in my Saturday morning coffee seemed appropriate!), but I realized after I brewed the coffee it had to refrigerate. Okay, I guess I can drink it later and make something different for my morning coffee. So I proceed with the recipe only to realize I did not have Bailey's, which the original recipe called for. Okay, I do have Kahula and that goes well with coffee so lets move on. I then pour the heavy cream to realize I only have 1/2 a cup, not 1 cup. Ugh! I had already prepared step one and wasn't sure what I would do with it, I guess I could just drink it. Well, I took a breath and thought about it. A whole cup did seem like it would made the drink more of a mousse, plus I did not think it would have enough coffee flavor. The whipping cream to coffee ratio didn't seem right for a drink, so I decided to proceed again with the 1/2 cup I had. I finished the drink and stuck it in the refrigerator and hoped for the best.
That afternoon I pulled the drink out of the refrigerator gave it a stir and took pictures, just in case it turned out. Well, after one sip I knew it was a keeper and the prefect afternoon pick me up. Even with everything trying to go wrong with this recipe it turned out delicious. Next time I think I will try it with Baileys.
Kahula Iced Coffee

- In a medium bowl, add in the sugar and chocolate. Pour the hot coffee over top and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. Allow the mixture to cool.
- Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the Kahula. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
