Equipment

measuring cups
chilled serving glasses
straws

Ingredients

2 shots freshly brewed espresso
1 cup whole milk
1.5 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup ice cubes
1/4 tsp cocoa powder
1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Brew two fresh espresso shots using an espresso machine or moka pot.
Allow the espresso to cool at room temperature for one minute.
Measure one cup of whole milk and leave it at room temperature.
Add 1.5 cups of vanilla ice cream to a blender pitcher.
Add one-half cup of ice cubes to the blender.
Pour the cooled espresso into the blender.
Add the milk slowly to the blender pitcher.
Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the coffee flavor.
Secure the blender lid firmly before blending.
Blend on medium-high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Check the consistency and ensure there are no visible chunks.
Pour the milkshake evenly into two chilled glasses.
Dust the top of each serving with cocoa powder.
Insert a straw into each glass and serve immediately.
Enjoy within two minutes for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor. Chill serving glasses before pouring. Blend only until smooth to avoid excessive foam. For a thicker milkshake, increase ice cream and reduce milk slightly. Oat milk works well as a dairy-free alternative.
