An unusual way to enjoy coffee: serve it cold, in the form of a coffee milkshake!
Ingredients for your coffee milkshake
- 2 cups of O'ccaffè Espresso Classico
- 100 ml of milk
- 100 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon of bitter cocoa
- 1 dollop of fresh cream
How to prepare coffee milkshake
Step 1 - Prepare ice cubes, milk and water
To start preparing the coffee milkshake, the first step is to obtain ice cubes, milk and water. To do this, we pour the milk and water into specific ice containers and place them in the freezer. You will need to wait about two hours for the liquids to solidify completely. This step is essential to give our milkshake that fresh and icy consistency that makes it so special.
Step 2 - Prepare the coffee
While the milk and water cubes freeze, we take advantage of the time to prepare the coffee. We have two options available: we can use a moka for a coffee with a traditional and enveloping flavour, or opt for an espresso machine, to obtain a more intense and decisive flavour. The choice depends on our personal preferences. In any case, both the O'ccaffè Classic Espresso and the intense aroma of this fine blend will be fundamental to obtaining a coffee milkshake with an irresistible aroma.
Step 3 - Whip the fresh cream
Before proceeding with the main ingredients of the coffee milkshake, let's dedicate ourselves to the preparation of the fresh cream. Using an electric mixer, whip it until it obtains a soft and frothy consistency. The whipped cream will be the delicious final garnish of our milkshake, giving it that touch of sweetness and refinement that will conquer the palate of anyone who tastes it.
Step 4 - Blend all the ingredients
Now that we have everything ready, we can proceed with the actual preparation of our coffee milkshake. We take the blender glass and put the milk and water ice cubes inside, pour in our coffee, hot or cold depending on your preferences, and add the teaspoon of bitter cocoa. The latter will give our milkshake a pleasant note of bitterness, creating a perfect contrast with the sweetness of the whipped cream. We turn on the blender and let the magic happen: the ice cubes will melt together with the other ingredients, creating a delicious and creamy consistency.
Step 5 - Serve and garnish
Additional step - Customize your milkshake
Now that we have learned the basic coffee milkshake recipe, we can dare and experiment with new variations to make it even more special. For example, we can enrich our milkshake with a hint of vanilla or a touch of cinnamon for a surprising and enveloping flavour. Alternatively, we can add liquid caramel for a more delicious and irresistible taste. If we love chocolate, why not add a flake of dark chocolate to the whipped cream for an experience of pure pleasure?
With these variations and suggestions, our coffee milkshake will become a true work of culinary art. Experiment, customize and be inspired by the versatility of this delicious drink. Whether you enjoy it alone or in company, the coffee milkshake will always be the perfect choice for a pleasant and fresh break, to be enjoyed at any time of the day!
