When I moved, all of a sudden the nearest coffee went from 2 minutes away to 20 minutes away. Popping out to a cafe became more of a journey than a quick stop, which meant I had to find some alternatives for getting my afternoon pick-me-ups. Before, I would head out and get one of those nice blended drinks, with chocolate chips and ice, topped with whipped cream. Of course, that little treat would come at a cost.
What I discovered, was that for the price of one of my fancy coffee shop drinks, I could purchase a half gallon of International Delight Iced Coffee and an International Delight Coffee Creamer at my local Walmart and make my own delicious drink. Not only would the cost of the ingredients be cheaper, but I could make more than one iced beverage without leaving the house!
At first I was a little worried. When I got to the dairy section at Walmart, they were almost completely out of International Delight Iced Coffee and International Delight Coffee Creamer. I was relieved to see that they still had a York Peppermint Patty Coffee Creamer still available.
Then I turned around and BAM! – an entire fridge filled with ID Iced Coffee, the main ingredient for my gourmet iced coffee creation – Grasshopper Iced Mocha.
- 1 cup International Delight Iced Mocha
- ¼ cup International Delight York Peppermint Patty Coffee Creamer
- ½ cup ice (crushed)
- ⅛ cup chocolate chips (chilled)
- Whipped Cream
- Chocolate Syrup
- Add International Delight Iced Mocha, International Delight York Peppermint Patty Creamer, ice, and chocolate chips into a blender, and blend.
- Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Sprinkle a couple of chocolate chips on top
- Enjoy!
One of the things I love about this recipe is the mint flavor from the creamer. It’s a great way to add that little extra bit of freshness to your homemade iced coffee. I find myself blending up this tasty beverage almost daily as a morning or evening treat. It’s perfect for sitting on the deck or patio and relaxing to help you recharge.
You can even serve the Grasshopper Iced Mocha as part of an outdoor party! You don’t have to crush the ice, you can simply pour everything over ice in a pitcher. Instead of blending in the chocolate chips, you can just sprinkle a few on top. It can also be customized by adding more or less creamer and chocolate syrup.
If you decided to blend yourself a Grasshopper Iced Mocha to help you cool off while you’re enjoying the great outdoors, let me know what you think!

This sounds to die for. What a tasty treat! And you can make it at home. Awesome.

YUMMY ALL IN MT TUMMY
Oh, how scrumptious this sounds! and loaded with calories lol.
My husband loves:)
Love this with the chocolate chips. I watched Paula Dean freeze her leftover coffee in ice trays. When wanting a frozen coffee drink she added a hot chocolate pkg, some cream, or low-fat milk and blended to make a mocha freeze. I use good coffee I buy from my local Dutchbros coffee shop. It taste just like a brain freeze that cost about $3.50 and so good. I am going to try this Grasshopper too love mint!
that looks so good
This sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing
Oh, this looks so yummy!!
I’m laughing right now because the same thing happened to me only at Ralph’s Supermarket. I have fallen totally in love with the Mocha International Delight Iced Coffee. I even hide it (or try to) in the back of the fridge so no one will get it but me!! LOL! Also, The York Peppermint Patties are one of my all time favorites so I guess I have no choice but to make this….darnit! LOL!
Haha! Grocery stores need to put “International Delight Iced Coffee this way…” with an arrow to let us know where they’re hiding it!
that looks as good as it sounds!
Oooh that sounds delicious!
I had to come back I love this recipe so much, but I like what Linda said about Paula Deen freezing coffee and using it to make the drink have fewer calorie

Looks like a really refreshing drink.
Seeing this recipe makes me want to like coffee! I don’t like the taste of it, but I may just have to try this. Looks so delicious!!
I was exactly the same! Once I discovered adding in syrups and creamers, coffee became much better for me! I think this is a great “starter” coffee drink – not too coffee flavored and still has some yummy flavors.
I have to try this!
