I'm getting so excited about the Christmas holiday. I'm almost finished with my shopping, I have cookie baking on my mind and I've already started thinking about all of the wonderful food we're going to enjoy with family and friends in the upcoming weeks.
However, the holidays can be pretty stressful, however, if you're the one hosting. And even if you're not hosting at your house, you may still be bringing along a dish, dessert or even special drink to share wherever you're going. Today, with the help of the Chinet® company, I'm sharing the recipe for a No Blend Frozen Mudslide. It may remind you of my Grasshopper recipe. This one's just as good and just as easy. Oh, and yep, you heard me right. . .there's no blender necessary.
Let me introduce you to Chinet® first. 😉 The Chinet® brand has two collections I absolutely love, and I make sure to stock up on both of them during the holidays.
A must-have are the Chinet® Classic White™ dinner plates. They're really sturdy, can hold tons of food and there's no need to worry about leaks or spills.
The Chinet® Cut Crystal® line is clear and elegant, and matches any decor you can throw at it.
We're going to focus today on cups, specifically their stemless wine glasses, the newest addition to the Chinet® Cut Crystal® product family.
The glasses are clear, elegant and, most of all, convenient. They're a perfect choice for this frozen mudslide.
Believe it or not, this is a great drink to take along to a party. If you have to drive a ways, I'd make sure to pack the ice cream in a cooler. But once you get to the party, you can always just set the ice cream container out on the counter and allow it to thaw.
You may not need to use a microwave at all! No need to scoop, just pour the ice cream from the container into the glass - especially if you took the ice cream out and may have forgotten about it while you were standing under that mistletoe. 😉
There doesn't need to be a lot of fuss when it comes to serving something delicious. The disposable glasses make ENJOYING so easy. And isn't that what the holidays are all about?

No Blend Frozen Mudslide
Ingredients
- 6 ounces vanilla ice cream
- 1 ounce coffee liqueur
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur
- Chocolate syrup
- Whipped topping
- Nutmeg
Instructions
- Place ice cream in microwaveable bowl and heat at 15 second increments until it softens - almost to melted stage.
- Mix in coffee liquor, vodka and Irish cream.
- Squirt chocolate syrup around inside of cup.
- Pour mixture into cup.
- Top with whipped cream.
- Sprinkle some nutmeg on top.
Notes
- Ice Cream Softening: To ensure easy mixing and a smooth consistency, gradually soften the vanilla ice cream in the microwave. Use short intervals of 15 seconds, stirring in between, until the ice cream reaches a semi-melted stage. Be cautious not to overheat, as fully melted ice cream may affect the texture and flavor of the drink.
- Layering Technique: Create an appealing presentation by squirting chocolate syrup around the inside of the serving cup before pouring in the mudslide mixture. This technique adds a decorative touch and ensures each sip of the drink is infused with chocolate flavor. Consider swirling the syrup with a spoon or skewer for a marbled effect.
- Garnish Enhancement: Elevate the visual appeal and flavor of the frozen mudslide by topping it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. The whipped cream adds a creamy texture and indulgent finish, while the nutmeg adds a hint of warm, aromatic spice. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the cold, creamy drink and the airy whipped topping.
