Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, chilled
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 ounce brandy
- 1 ounce crème de cacao
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a cup of coffee and allowing it to chill in the refrigerator. This will ensure that your milkshake is refreshing and cool.
- Once the coffee is chilled, gather all your ingredients: the chilled coffee, vanilla ice cream, brandy, crème de cacao, and chocolate shavings for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the chilled brewed coffee, 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream, 1 ounce of brandy, and 1 ounce of crème de cacao. Make sure to add the ingredients in this order for optimal blending.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender's power.
- Once blended, taste the milkshake to ensure the flavors are balanced. If desired, you can add more ice cream for a thicker consistency or more coffee for a stronger flavor.
- Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses, filling them generously.
- To garnish, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of each milkshake. You can also add a straw or a spoon for easy sipping.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Brandy Alexander Coffee Milkshake!
Tips
- Chill Your Coffee: For the best flavor and texture, make sure your brewed coffee is thoroughly chilled before blending. You can brew it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream and brandy to enhance the overall taste of your milkshake. The better the ingredients, the more luxurious your milkshake will be!
- Blend for Perfection: Blend your ingredients on high speed until smooth, but be careful not to over-blend. You want a creamy consistency without turning it into a liquid.
- Adjust to Your Preference: Feel free to customize the sweetness and creaminess of your milkshake. Add more ice cream for a thicker shake or a splash of coffee for a stronger flavor.
- Garnish Creatively: Chocolate shavings are a classic garnish, but you can also experiment with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch of decadence.
- Serve Immediately: This milkshake is best enjoyed right after making it. Serve it in tall glasses with a straw for a fun and inviting presentation.
