  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Strong brewed coffee:
    • Provides the robust, slightly bitter undertone that gives the shake its signature kick.
    • Espresso or cold brew works best, but regular drip coffee is also great.
  • Vanilla ice cream:
    • Adds sweetness and creaminess while smoothing out the bitterness of the coffee.
    • Use high-quality ice cream for the best results.
  • Whole milk:
    • Ties everything together by adding a touch of lightness and ensuring the consistency stays smooth and pourable.
    • Skim milk can be substituted, but whole milk enhances richness.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coffee:
    • Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Hot coffee can melt the ice cream too quickly.
  2. Add ingredients to the blender:
    • Pour 1 cup of cooled coffee into the blender.
    • Add 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
    • Pour in ½ cup of whole milk.
  3. Blend:
    • Start on low speed to break down the ice cream chunks.
    • Gradually increase the speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
    • Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. Serve:
    • Pour the milkshake into a chilled glass.
    • Top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, or other garnishes if desired.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients:
    • Opt for premium coffee beans or freshly brewed espresso for enhanced flavor.
    • Choose high-end ice cream for a smoother texture.
  • Chill your tools:
    • Chill the milk and serving glass beforehand to keep the milkshake colder longer.
  • Adjust ratios:
    • Add less milk for a thicker shake or more milk for a lighter consistency.
  • Get creative with toppings:
    • Crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or caramel drizzle can elevate the presentation.
