Ingredients

60 ml freshly made espresso (2 shots)
300 g vanilla ice cream (about 5 scoops)
80 ml cold whole milk
2 tbsp whipped cream, to top (optional)
15 g grated dark chocolate, to finish (optional)

Method

Brew the espresso, pour it into a small jug and chill it in the freezer for 15 min, until cold. Hot coffee would melt the ice cream.
Put the cold espresso, ice cream and milk in a blender.
Blend for 20–30 seconds, just until smooth and thick.
Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and a little grated chocolate.

Tips

Each glass holds a shot of espresso, so it is not one for kids or bedtime; decaf works perfectly.
Swap the vanilla for chocolate ice cream to make a mocha shake.
