350 kcalA coffee milk shake is a delicious and refreshing twist on the classic milk shake, combining the rich, bold flavour of coffee with the creamy texture of ice cream and milk. Such an indulgent beverage would be perfect for the coffee lover who'd love to take his favourite brew in a fun and cooling form, especially on sweltering days or after meals. Most milkshakes have their base in freshly brewed coffee, which lends an intense, rich flavour. The ice cream used is typically vanilla, but the milk shake can also be made using chocolate or coffee-flavoured ice cream, giving it the smooth, rich consistency of milkshakes. Milk is added to thin the mixture to the perfect balance between creamy and drinkable. Sugar or sweeteners can be added to taste, and the milk shake turns out sweet but is not overpowering. What makes a coffee milk shake so incredibly delightful is that it balances bitterness in the coffee with the sweetness in the ice cream; when frothy and chilled but warm inside, all the elements come together just so. Toppings with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or perhaps a drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup add extra extravagance to this treat. That is how versatile coffee milk shakes are. If you want mild coffee or a more intensified kick of espresso-like taste, you can quickly dilute or intensify it to whatever preference you want.

FAQs
Can I make a coffee milk shake without ice cream?
Yes. You can make the coffee milk shake using frozen yoghurt instead of ice cream or even a banana for the creamy texture. You can also use milk and ice if you want something lighter. A scoop of vanilla or coffee-flavoured protein powder or cashew butter can be added to get a rich, creamy flavour. While ice cream provides an old-fashioned creamy texture, these alternatives still work well in giving a deliciously satiating coffee shake.
Is it possible to make a coffee milk shake using decaffeinated coffee?
Absolutely! If you like a decaf version, use a coffee substitute like barley or chicory drink. The preparation is the same, and the finished product will retain the creamy, flavoured coffee goodness minus its stimulating effect from the caffeine. So, that coffee milkshake is perfect for the coffee fanatics who want it but need to get the buzz.
Can I prepare a coffee milk shake in advance?
A coffee milk shake is best consumed freshly to appreciate the creamy texture. However, you can prepare the constituents ahead of time. Brew the coffee, calm, and chill in the refrigerator. You can also scoop your ice cream beforehand or frozen coffee ice cubes. Blend everything when you are ready to make your milk shake. However, its texture may be altered if kept in the refrigerator for too long; hence, it is best consumed within a few hours.
