Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 frozen bananas, 1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled), 1/4 cup of almond milk, and if desired, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup for added sweetness and flavor.
- Ensure that your bananas are fully frozen. If you haven't frozen them yet, slice ripe bananas and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours until solid.
- In a blender, add the frozen bananas. Break them into smaller chunks if necessary to help the blending process.
- Pour in the cooled brewed coffee over the frozen bananas. The coffee should be at room temperature or colder to maintain the nice cream texture.
- Add the almond milk to the blender. This will help create a creamy consistency while blending.
- If you are using cocoa powder for a chocolatey flavor, add it to the blender now. This is optional but highly recommended for chocolate lovers.
- If you prefer a sweeter shake, drizzle in the maple syrup. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once you achieve a smooth consistency, taste the shake and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed by adding more maple syrup or cocoa powder.
- Pour the Coffee Nice Cream Shake into two glasses. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans on top for an added touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and delicious Coffee Nice Cream Shake!
Tips
- Banana Freezing Hack: For the smoothest texture, slice and freeze bananas when they're very ripe. The riper the banana, the sweeter your shake will be naturally.
- Coffee Temperature Matters: Use cooled coffee to maintain the nice cream's thick, creamy consistency. Hot coffee can melt your frozen bananas and ruin the texture.
- Blender Power: If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides periodically. A high-powered blender works best for achieving that silky-smooth finish.
- Customization is Key: Experiment with add-ins like a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a shot of espresso to personalize your shake.
- Sweetness Control: Start with less maple syrup and add gradually. The frozen bananas provide natural sweetness, so you might need less additional sweetener than you think.
- Serving Suggestion: For an Instagram-worthy presentation, garnish with coffee beans, a light dusting of cocoa, or a small vegan cookie on the rim.
