Coffee Flavored Milkshake With Espresso

The strong espresso sure will give you the jolt you need on a slow afternoon. And this rich espresso milkshake is for true coffee lovers, it will burst with coffee (mocha) flavor!

See This.

If you don’t have espresso, you can make this coffee shake with brewed coffee leftover will work too. Or if you have some instant coffee granules you can use a teaspoon of that and add milk as the base liquid to thin the milkshake out.

Ingredients For A Healthier Coffee Milkshake

• Plain vanilla ice cream (you can use a regular ice cream or coffee flavored ice cream. I used a coconut based dairy free vanilla ice cream, because I can’t tolerate dairy).
• Coffee or espresso, cold (or use instant coffee and milk instead).
• Cream (optional) to cut some sugar and reduce the amount of ice cream. I used coconut cream, which is dairy free, but it’s up to you.
• Frozen banana (for a thicker milkshake, or use ice).
• Cacao powder (the chocolate flavor will enhance the coffee flavor even more).
• Pinch of cinnamon (the spice hint will make it even more flavorful).

Note: Keep in mind that even though coffee has health benefits, when combined with ice cream and sugar this will not make it a healthy drink and should be consumed in moderation as an occasional treat.

How To Make A Coffee Milkshake

Step 1. Prepare the ingredients: for easy-to-scoop ice cream, remove from the freezer 10 minutes before using. For a thicker shake use frozen banana, or if you prefer your milkshake without banana, use ice instead, or just leave it out. And don’t forget to chill your glasses. This will ensure the coffee milkshake stays cold as long as possible.

Step 2. Add ingredients in a blender and blend the milkshake. Start on the lowest speed and work your way up to medium speed, blend until the coffee milkshake is smooth. Pulse a few times as needed to keep things moving.

Step 3. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed, adding more milk, coffee or ice cream for creaminess (see substitutions and add-ins you could use, below in the post).

Step 4. Pour into glasses and enjoy right away.

Coffee Milkshake Substitutions/Add-ins:

• Make this coffee milk shake dairy free or vegan: There are many non-dairy alternatives to milk and ice cream. For creamier results use a coconut based ice cream or cashew based ice cream (plain vanilla flavor). If you are bothered by the ingredients used in these store-bought ice creams, then you can make your own healthier homemade vegan ice cream without added sugar. And use that as a base in the shake.
• If you prefer to make your coffee milk shake without ice cream entirely then use more frozen bananas and add some coconut cream for thickness.
• Add seeds: chia seeds, hemp seeds or milled flax seeds for fiber and plant based protein.
• For thicker texture, add some peanut butter or or other nut butters.

What Blender To Use For A Milkshake

Any blender that has a “frozen drink” set up, this usually pulses a few times to make things move a bit and then blends on low without breaking the consistency. Here I’m using a beast blender with smaller cups, which is very convenient for single serving smoothies and drinks.
