Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 shot brewed coffee
- Whipped cream for topping
- Caramel drizzle for garnish
Instructions
- Brew a fresh shot of hot coffee and allow it to cool slightly to room temperature.
- Remove vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for 2-3 minutes at room temperature to make blending easier.
- In a blender, combine softened vanilla ice cream, milk, caramel sauce, and the cooled coffee shot.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Stop blending and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
- Pour the blended shake evenly into two tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for toppings.
- Top each shake generously with whipped cream, creating a tall, fluffy peak.
- Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream in a decorative pattern.
- Serve immediately while the shake is cold and the whipped cream is fresh.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality vanilla ice cream and freshly brewed coffee. The better the ingredients, the more delicious your shake will be!
- Experiment with Coffee: Feel free to customize your coffee choice! Whether you prefer espresso for an extra kick or a mild brew, your shake will adapt beautifully.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you like your shake sweeter, add more caramel sauce to taste. You can also use flavored syrups to enhance the flavor profile.
- Perfect Consistency: When blending, keep an eye on the consistency. If it’s too thick, a splash of milk will do the trick; if it’s too thin, add a scoop of ice cream.
- Garnish Creatively: Get creative with your toppings! In addition to whipped cream and caramel drizzle, consider adding chocolate shavings, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
- Serve Immediately: This shake is best enjoyed fresh and cold. Serve it right after blending for the ultimate creamy experience!
