  • Spoon (for stirring and serving)

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the base for your milkshake. You'll need to brew a strong cup of coffee and mix it with cocoa powder.
    Ingredients:
    1 cup of brewed coffee
    2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tablespoon of sugar
    Once you have your coffee brewed, follow these steps:
    Pour the hot coffee into a mixing bowl.
    Add the cocoa powder and sugar.
    Whisk until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
    Let this mixture cool down to room temperature before moving to the next step. This ensures the milkshake will have a smooth texture and won't be too hot to handle.

  • Next, you'll need to combine the cooled coffee mixture with milk. This step is crucial for achieving the right balance between coffee and milk.
    Ingredients:
    1 cup of whole milk
    1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
    Follow these steps to combine them:
    Pour the cooled coffee mixture into a blender.
    Add the whole milk.
    If you like a hint of vanilla, add the vanilla extract.
    Blend on low speed for about 30 seconds to mix well.
    This combination forms the base of your milkshake, creating a rich and creamy texture that balances the coffee's bitterness with milk's sweetness.

  • Now it's time to add the star ingredient: vanilla ice cream. This will make your milkshake creamy and delicious.
    Ingredients:
    3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
    Follow these steps:
    Add the vanilla ice cream to the blender containing the coffee-milk mixture.
    Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, which should take about 1 minute.
    The ice cream not only thickens the milkshake but also enhances its sweetness, making it more enjoyable.

  • Consistency is key for a perfect milkshake. You want it to be neither too thick nor too runny.
    If the milkshake is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. If it's too runny, add more ice cream or ice cubes, blending until you reach the desired thickness.

  • The final touch is what makes this milkshake special. Chocolate sprinkles add a delightful crunch and extra chocolate flavor.

    Follow these steps:
    Pour the milkshake into a tall glass.
    If you like, top with a dollop of whipped cream.
    Sprinkle generously with chocolate sprinkles.
    This final step not only enhances the milkshake's appearance but also adds a fun texture and extra chocolatey goodness.
