    How to make a mudslide that is the perfect treat for a hot summer’s day. These frozen mudslides are made with Kahlua, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla ice cream in a chocolate swirled glass topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

    Frozen Mudslides

    Are you ready for a tasty frozen alcoholic drink? This drink tastes like a chocolate milkshake even though no chocolate is actually added to the ice cream mixture itself.

    I like to think of it as an adult milkshake. This is similar to Applebee’s frozen mudslide recipe except they do not include Irish cream liqueur.

    Another way frozen mudslides are served is by adding in 1 part vodka as well.

    Kahlua has increased in popularity and some are even making sweet treats like Kahlua chocolate cupcakes, mudslide cookies, and espresso brownie bites with Kahlua.

    Ingredients for a Mudslide

    • Kahlua
    • Irish Cream Liqueur (Bailey’s, Ryan’s, or O’Reilly’s all taste great.)
    • Vanilla Ice Cream
    • Chocolate Syrup
    • Whipped Cream

    The traditional mudslide is a creamy cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and usually heavy cream. Chocolate syrup, chocolate shavings, and whipped cream are popular garnishes. The ingredients are shaken with ice for a cold serving.

    I think we can make a few tweaks to this list of ingredients so that it is more kitchen-friendly.

    For example, instead of ice and heavy cream, I use vanilla ice cream. This gives it that same creamy texture but also puts one less item on your shopping list.

    Liqueur Substitutes

    I decided to make this a mudslide recipe with Kahlua because that’s the most common one. You are free to use another coffee liqueur besides Kahlua like Kamora or one of the amazing craft coffee liqueur substitutes.

    I also didn’t put vodka on the list. You can definitely add vodka or even replace the vanilla ice cream with vodka if you want less of a milkshake texture. Personally, I don’t think these Kahlua mudslides need vodka.

    Baileys is my go-to Irish cream liqueur but again, feel free to use your favorite. For a more coffee-forward flavor, try Amarula. Ryan’s Cream is a good budget-friendly option.

    How to Make a Mudslide

    For that quintessential milkshake look, I drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass. You can use any wide rim glass that doesn’t warm up too quickly.

    This isn’t your average diner drink so I chose stemless wine glasses for a touch of elegance. These glasses also make it easier to differentiate the adult milkshakes from the kids’ milkshakes.

    The base of this glass design fits nicely in your hands so that twirling the glass doesn’t become too risky. I haven’t dropped a single glass, yet!

    You can’t really go wrong with vanilla ice cream so any brand works here. You could even make this a mudslide drink with less lactose by using dairy-free vanilla ice cream.

    This single drink is everything we love combined into one magical vessel: milkshake, coffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Honestly, what more could you dream of having?

    Spread the joy with these frozen mudslides!
