Burt Baskin and Irv Robbin's idea to franchise their ice cream stores for rapid growth was so inspired that the company's former milk shake machine salesman, Ray Kroc, adopted the technique to successfully expand his new chain of McDonald's hamburger outlets.
Ice cream is this chain's staple. So this coffee drink, and my B.R. Blast recipe below, requires adding ice cream for a creamy texture and rich taste. If you've got a blender, you can clone either of the two varieties of this refreshing coffee beverage. For chocoholics bent on everything mocha, just add some chocolate syrup to the mix.

LOVE THIS RECIPE!! I added caramel ice cream topping, instead of whipped topping and omitted the sugar. Thanks
