The result is a coffee drink that simultaneously satisfies your coffee cravings and your sweet tooth.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare Your Coffee: Ensure your coffee is at room temperature or slightly chilled. Hot coffee will melt the ice cream and create a thin consistency rather than the thick, creamy texture you want.
  • Measure Ingredients: Add approximately 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of room temperature coffee to your blender, followed by 2-3 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  • Blend to Perfection: Blend on medium speed for 15-20 seconds until the mixture reaches a smooth, milkshake-like consistency. Avoid over-blending, which can make the drink too thin.
  • Check Consistency: The finished drink should be thick enough to coat a spoon but pourable. If it is too thick, add a splash more coffee; if it is too thin, add more ice cream.
  • Serve Immediately: Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
  • Optional Garnish: Top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
