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

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.
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.
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.
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.
