Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut Coolata

Stepford Mom's Note:

My hubby has a Coolata addiction. Seriously. So in an effort to not spend $4 a day on coffee, I scoured the internet and found a recipe, after tweaking to meet his desires, I think I found a winner. I make 1 batch every other day, So this amount will make approx 2 Coolatas. I use my Magic Bullet to make but I am sure you can in a blender.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins

2. Mix all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

This is really great! I can see this being fantastic with other flavors as well... Like chai. I did make a few changes based on what I had in the house... So I used Splenda rather than sugar, half ev milk and half skim for the whole milk, and a T hazelnut flavored Splenda rather than syrup... I just cut back on the 8 T a touch. Really creamy, and I can see how one could become addicted to these... I am well on the way myself! To make the strong coffee, I used my stovetop espresso pot with extra grounds.
