It may sound so simple, or even a little strange, but Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes are the kitchen hack you didn’t know you were missing. These frozen, creamy, chocolatey cubes made with The Creamery Chocolate 2% Milk make the perfect ice cube replacement in cold and blended drinks, making your summertime sipping experience even more enjoyable.

Here’s why we’re loving Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes.

No more watered-down drinks

If you’ve ever tossed a watered-down iced coffee in the trash instead of drinking it, you’ll love this Chocolate Milk Ice Cube hack. Skip the ice cubes, and instead use frozen chocolate milk that slowly melts to add more flavor. Think: iced coffee, espresso martini, ice cold milk… the possibilities are endless.

More flavor and nutrients

Of course, Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes make your cold and frozen drinks more flavorful, but they are also packed full of real milk’s essential nutrients like protein, calcium, riboflavin, and vitamins A, D and B12. Added nutrients provide the hydration and fuel your body needs – it’s a win-win!

Bonus: Supporting family-owned dairy farms

When you use The Creamery Chocolate 2% Milk, you support family-owned dairy farms in Utah. As a farmer-owned business, The Creamery is proud to offer farm-fresh dairy products from our home state, including four flavors of real, wholesome milk.

So, freeze up some chocolate milk from The Creamery this summer, and feel good knowing you’re supporting farmers while enjoying a delicious cold or frozen drink!

Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes

Creates one standard ice cube tray full (12-16 cubes)

Ingredients

·        1 carton of The Creamery Chocolate 2% Milk per standard ice cube tray

Instructions

1. Carefully pour The Creamery Chocolate 2% Milk into as many ice cube trays as desired. We like a small cube for blending, and larger cubes for using in cold drinks.

2. Place on a flat, level surface in the freezer and let freeze until completely solid, at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.

3. If desired, remove Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes from the tray and place in a large freezer bag. This allows you to freeze multiple batches and build a stash of chocolate milk ice cubes.

How to use chocolate milk ice cubes

• Turn your morning coffee into an iced mocha with as many Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes as you desire

•  Use in protein shakes and milkshakes, instead of ice cubes

•  Add to a glass of milk (regular or chocolate) for an extra-cold drink on a hot day

• Complement the flavors of any cold brew or espresso-based cocktail, like a mocha white Russian or espresso martini, while providing lasting coldness that won’t water it down

Real milk. Real fun flavors.
