Notes
Expert tips for this delicious coffee milkshake
- Choose high-quality ingredients: To make your coffee milkshake taste amazing, use good-quality ingredients. Pick good ice cream quality and instant coffee that has a nice flavor. Better ingredients will make a big difference in the final taste of your milkshake.
- Adjust sweetness and coffee flavor: Everyone has different preferences, so feel free to adjust the sweetness and coffee flavor to your liking. Add sugar if you want it sweeter. If you love the taste of coffee, you can add extra instant coffee for a stronger flavor. Experiment until it's just right for you.
- Chill whipping tools: To whip the coffee whipped cream effectively, make sure to chill both the whip attachment and the metal bowl. Put them in the freezer 10 minutes before whipping the cream. The cold temperature helps the cream hold its shape and gives you fluffy whipped cream for your milkshake.
- Get creative with toppings: Have fun with your coffee milkshake by adding different toppings. Sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top for a fancy touch. Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup, or even a shot of espresso for more flavor. Try different combinations to make it look and taste extra special.
- Blend to the right consistency: Blend the ingredients until they are well combined and the milkshake becomes smooth and creamy. Avoid blending too much, as it can make it too runny. Aim for a thick and creamy texture that you can easily sip through a straw. If needed, adjust the consistency by adding an extra scoop of ice cream or a splash of milk.
