Iced Coffee With Ice Cream Recipe
Equipment
- Blender
- Serving glass
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or your choice of flavor)
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for blending)
- Optional garnishes: chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, whipped cream
Instructions
- Use your preferred method of brewing coffee.
- Chill your brewed coffee in the refrigerator.
- Optionally, chill your serving glasses in the freezer.
- Combine the chilled coffee, one scoop of ice cream, and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour into a chilled glass and top with an additional scoop of ice cream.
- Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer your drink less diluted but still cold, freeze some of your coffee in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes.
- Ice cream consistency is important. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. A slightly softer ice cream blends more easily and creates a smoother texture in your drink.
- Blending technique matters too. Start blending at a lower speed to mix the ingredients without causing too much froth. Increase the speed as the mixture starts to smooth out for a perfectly combined drink.
- For an affogato-style twist, place the ice cream in the glass before pouring the blended coffee over it to create a beautiful layering effect.
- If you prefer your drink less diluted but still cold, freeze some of your coffee in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes.
