small amount of hot water
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup milk

Dissolve the instant coffee in a small amount of hot water.  Add the coffee, cold water, milk, sugar and ice to a blender and blend until the ice is broken into very small piece.  If it's still a liquid consistency, add more ice and continue blending.

What's wrong with Cool Whip?

[captpackrat.livejournal.com]

Cool Whip (or any other whipped cream that comes in a tub) has a different texture than aerosol whipped cream, and it's harder to apply it to the drink when you're scooping it up with a spoon instead of just spraying it from a can.
