Coffee Cocoa Shake (Printable Version)
A silky combo of cocoa, coffee, and ice cream that’ll make your afternoon way sweeter.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
1/2 to 3/4 cup whole milk or cold brewed coffee
02 -
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream, about 3 scoops, let it soften a bit
03 -
1 teaspoon up to a tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder (totally optional, tweak to your taste)
04 -
1 tablespoon (5 g) plain cocoa powder
→ Toppings (optional)
05 -
Chocolate curls
06 -
Fudge drizzle
07 -
Whipped topping
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spoon whipped topping over your shake and sprinkle on those chocolate curls. Best served right away.
02 -
Pour the finished shake into a cold glass. You can swirl fudge sauce inside before adding the milkshake if you want it extra fun.
03 -
Let the blender run until everything looks smooth and easy to pour. Pause to scrape down the sides if things get stuck.
04 -
Toss your cocoa powder and instant coffee or espresso (if you want) into the blender first. Add the slightly soft ice cream, then pour in the milk or coffee.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you're after a strong coffee vibe, go for the whole tablespoon of instant coffee or espresso. Swapping in chilled coffee for milk works well if you're skipping dairy.
02 -
For a super thick shake, add less milk or coffee. Want it more sippable? Just pour in a bit more liquid.
