What to Serve with a Chocolate Chip Coffee Milkshake

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Use freshly brewed coffee. The flavor really is just best when it’s fresh!
Let the coffee cool slightly. If it’s scalding hot when you mix it with the ice cream, it will just melt it.
Don’t over-blend. Blending too much can start to warm and melt the ice cream.

Variations and Substitutions

Not freshly brewed coffee? You can swap it out for cold brew instead.
Use homemade cookies. It’s definitely quicker with store-bought cookies, but if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, whip up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies instead.
Make it decaf. Just brew a pot of decaf coffee instead! You still get the java flavor without the kick of caffeine.

Storage Instructions

I don’t recommend storing this coffee milkshake for later. It is best served right away!

Do Coffee Milkshakes Have Coffee in Them?

Yes! Traditional milkshakes are thinned out using milk. Coffee milkshakes are thinned out using coffee in place of the milk!

Can You Make a Milkshake with a Frother?

If that’s all you have on hand, then yes. However, I do recommend a high speed blender if you have one available to you. It ensures that the milkshake gets smooth and creamy without over-blending.
