I’m obsessed with ice cream floats. I mean O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with them. I cannot get enough of them in my life. I wish I could drink them every single day. Quite frankly, that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing lately.
There is something about floats that makes me instantly happy. Dress up that float by serving it in a pink mug atop a pink horse towel and I’m even happier. Pretty drinks just make my heart skip a beat.
I made this recipe for my hubby. He’s a huge coffee fanatic. He drinks coffee as obsessively as I drink ice cream floats. So this was a way to combine our two loves in epic style. He’s happy, I’m happy, life is good.
For this recipe I used Folgers instant coffee. I keep jars of it around the house for coffee emergencies. We have coffee emergencies daily. Some days the emergency is as simple as hubby is thirsty and I’m busy working.
Instant coffee is the perfection solution. I’m all about easy and quick recipes. Honestly, the quicker I can make something the better. I’m not into long, drawn out, complicated recipes. I’m too busy for that these days.
If you’re looking for more coffee recipes check out Folgers Recipes. It’s like an online coffee recipe emporium. It’s filled with delicious recipes that will tantalize your taste buds and put a smile on your face.
Let’s face it, that’s what life is all about. Being happy, enjoying your life, and sucking back delicious coffee drinks. Okay, that last part was over the top. I’m okay with that though. I’m all about being silly and telling it like it is.
Whip up this drink as soon as possible. Then invite me over. We’ll sip Chocolate Affogato, aka Chocolate and Coffee Ice Cream Floats, all the live long day. We can sit by the pool and gossip while sipping these. See you soon!

It’s so amazing. I wish I had an espresso machine to make it more authentic, but sadly I don’t own one. Yet. Emphasis on yet. Ha. Thanks Liz. Happy Long Weekend. xx

I love coffee and ice cream floats, so this affogato is perfect for me:). I’ll sip and spoon until I get down to the bottom – and then I’ll make another.
