Ingredients
Shake Ingredients
- 2 cups Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice Cream
- 1-2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup brewed coffee (chilled, medium to bold roast preferred)
- 2-4 Tbsp unsweetened almond or coconut milk (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Vegan Magic Shell
- Coconut Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the vanilla bean coconut ice cream, starting with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of chilled brewed coffee into a blender. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick or has trouble blending, add 2-4 tablespoons of unsweetened almond or coconut milk as needed to help achieve a smooth consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the shake and adjust the flavors as desired by adding more cocoa powder for enhanced chocolate richness, more coffee for a stronger coffee flavor, or additional almond or coconut milk to increase creaminess. Blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve and Top: Pour the shake into two serving glasses. Optionally, top each serving with vegan magic shell or coconut whipped cream for added indulgence and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use chilled coffee to keep the shake cold without melting the ice cream too quickly.
- Adjust coffee strength based on personal preference for coffee flavor intensity.
- The optional almond or coconut milk helps to improve blending and texture but can be omitted for a thicker shake.
- For a sweeter shake, consider adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure all toppings are vegan to maintain the vegan nature of the shake.
