Instructions

Prepare the Base: In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent overcooking or altering the flavors.
Add Ingredients: Stir in the prepared chocolate syrup, powdered vanilla coffee creamer, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and instant coffee granules until everything is fully dissolved and well combined.
Chill the Mixture: Cover the saucepan and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. This cooling time allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Assemble the Punch: About 20 minutes before serving, remove the chilled chocolate coffee mixture from the refrigerator and pour it into a punch bowl.
Add Ice Cream: Using a large ice cream scoop, place dollops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream on top of the punch. Stir the mixture briefly to begin combining, then let it stand until the ice cream melts slightly and covers the surface, creating a creamy texture.
Garnish and Serve: Heap whipped topping or whipped cream in the center of the punch bowl. Sprinkle chocolate curls or shavings over the top for an elegant finishing touch. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, allow punch to chill overnight.
You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar and chocolate syrup.
Use full-fat ice cream for extra richness or lighter versions for a less indulgent treat.
Chocolate curls can be made by shaving a chocolate bar with a peeler or buy ready-made garnish.
This punch is best served cold and fresh but can be stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
