    Iced Coffee Spheres are a fun, whimsical, yet practical way to enjoy your coffee. Similar to frozen coffee cubes, coffee is frozen in a spherical mold and the resulting coffee dilutes as a slower rate so it stays cold longer.

    Why this recipe works

    It is super easy to make.

    Using a silicone ice sphere mold ensures a round shape.

    All it takes is cooled coffee and some time to freeze it.

    A little science

    If you like your coffee cold, bold and strong, making these Iced Coffee Spheres will be worth it.

    Why?

    A sphere contains less surface area than a cube, which means that less ice is in contact with the milk.

    Therefore, that means that the coffee sphere will melt slowly and not be quickly diluted.

    Equipment you'll need

    • spherical silicone mold/tray

    You can find these trays online, also known as whisky ice ball makers.

    Ingredients you'll need

    • cold coffee/espresso/cold brew: you can use any coffee you like

    How to make them

    Place the spherical mold onto a tray.

    Carefully pour the cooled coffee into the spherical mold.

    Freeze until solid, about 4-5 hours.

    How to use

    Place the Iced Coffee Spheres in a glass and top with milk or non-dairy alternative of your choice.

    Or enjoy it as is -- letting it slowly dissolve in the glass.

    How to store

    Keep the Iced Coffee Spheres in the freezer until ready to use.

    FAQs

    Can I make them into cubes?

    Yes, just pour the cooled coffee into a regular ice cube tray for iced coffee cubes.

      Do you know what we call these? Balls of awesomeness! Love that you used the larger ice cube balls so that they do not melt as fast.

      What a fun idea! I could see making these the day before and then sipping on them the next morning on a hot summer day. It's certainly hot here in Asheville (we just finished the move!), and I could go for one of these cold coffees right about now!
