Pour the cooled coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight.
Place 6 coffee ice cubes in a blender.
Blend until the ice cubes are finely shaved.
Add 1/2 cup of your favorite vanilla ice cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar (or to taste) to the blender.
Blend again until the mixture reaches a smooth, frosty consistency. Add a splash of milk or cream if desired for extra creaminess.
Pour into a glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings (about 1 teaspoon).
For an extra special treat, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to your coffee grounds before brewing for a warm spice kick!
