A Coffee Milkshake is a rich, creamy, and refreshing dessert that mixes the robust flavor of coffee with the smooth texture of ice cream. It’s the ideal beverage for coffee enthusiasts searching for something decadent. Here’s a simple recipe for making it.
Ingredients:
- One cup of strongly brewed, chilled or room temperature coffee
- Two cups of vanilla ice cream (for an added boost)
- 1/4 cup milk, adjusted to the thickness you want
- A teaspoon or two of sugar (or your preferred sweetener, if preferred)
- Whipping cream (for garnish)
- Chocolate syrup or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
Instructions:
- Make a strong cup of coffee with your preferred coffee grinds or beans. If you’re pressed for time, chill the coffee in the refrigerator or let it drop to room temperature.
- Put the milk, sugar (if using), vanilla ice cream, and cooled coffee in a blender. Blend till creamy and smooth. Add additional milk for a thinner consistency or more ice cream for a richer milkshake.
- Before churning, add a few ice cubes to the mixer for a colder milkshake. Before serving, the milkshake can also be placed in the freezer for a few minutes if desired.
- Fill glasses with the coffee milkshake. Add a substantial amount of whipped cream on top, and for an added decorative and flavorful touch, dust with cocoa powder or drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Tips:
Here are some tips to make your coffee milkshake even better:
- Use Strong Coffee: To make your coffee stand out in the milkshake, brew it on the stronger side. For a stronger coffee taste, you can even use cold brew or espresso.
- Chill the Coffee: Before putting the coffee in the blender, let it chill fully. The shake may become less creamy if the ice cream melts too rapidly due to warm coffee.
- Personalize the Flavor: To add a unique touch to your milkshake, consider adding a small amount of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even a dash of caramel syrup if you want flavored coffee.
- Use High-Quality Ice Cream: Your milkshake will be creamier and more decadent if you use high-quality ice cream. To get the nicest texture, try using quality vanilla ice cream.
