Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Slush

Dissolve Sugar: Begin by brewing a pot of strong coffee. Pour hot coffee into a heatproof bowl, then add sugar, stirring continuously until fully dissolved (2-3 minutes).
Mix in Creamy Ingredients: Add in 1/2 & 1/2, milk, and vanilla extract to the coffee mixture. Blend everything together until well combined and creamy (1-2 minutes).
Prepare for Freezing: Pour the combined mixture into freezable containers, leaving space for expansion. Cover securely and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Soften Before Serving: Allow the containers to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving, making scooping easier.
Serve with Flair: Scoop the slushy mixture into bowls or cups and top with whipped topping.
