Tips and Tricks for a coffee milkshake
- If you like your milkshake sweeter, add a bit of sugar or chocolate syrup before blending.
- For the best flavor, use cold coffee. If you don’t have any leftover coffee, you can quickly chill some fresh coffee in the fridge or freezer.
- While vanilla ice cream is classic, try chocolate or coffee-flavored ice cream for an extra boost of flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker milkshake, use less milk or coffee. For a thinner consistency, add a bit more liquid.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the blender for a warm, spiced twist.
- Use almond milk or oat milk and dairy-free ice cream for a vegan-friendly version.
- Don’t skip the toppings! Whipped cream, fudge sauce, and chocolate shavings add an extra layer of indulgence.
- For the best texture and flavor, enjoy your milkshake right after making it.
