coffee milkshake recipe with step by step photos – coffee milkshake is a popular summer beverage and is basically made by blending coffee with milk and ice cream. thus it is also known as cold coffee with ice cream. the coffee shake recipe i am sharing is the way i make cold coffee at home where i use a slightly different method. this technique gives a really good creamy and thick cafe style cold coffee which you will like.
cold coffee with ice cream is one of those drinks, i would have when visiting any cafe or restaurant with friends in mumbai. there were some drinks that were always a favorite with me and hence i would often end up ordering these. along with cold coffee with/without ice cream, there was even falooda, cocktail juice, watermelon juice, mango shake, lassi and banana shake.
generally when preparing coffee beverages coffee, milk or hot water is beaten with a spoon, till the concoction becomes light & frothy. here i have used the blender to do the same work. making milkshake with this frothy coffee concoction tastes much better, then when you just blend everything directly.
in the recipe vanilla ice cream is blended with the coffee and milk, which gives a thicker, creamier cold coffee. the coffee is then topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream and served. i have used homemade vanilla ice cream, but you can even use chocolate ice cream or coffee ice cream.
i have used instant coffee powder. you can also make the decoction with any ground coffee beans. to make the decoction, you will need to heat water. then brew through a percolator or french press or even with the south indian coffee filter. you can also check this filter coffee recipe where i have explained the method of preparing the coffee decoction.

I have one suggetion for u pour the paste of coffee powder n sugar in the mugs then blend rest of items in the blender, never blend the coffee n sugar paste with milk, it decreases the thickness of coffee. Try it i m sure you feel the difference
yummy
Hi mam,how r u ?I have two questions,,, first will ice cream made using heavy cream give more better results instead of using amul cream ?or both will give same results? My second question is can I use single acting baking powder in the same quantity instead of double acting as
the second one is giving bitter results ??
i am fine shuchi. with heavy cream the ice cream will have a more creamier and smooth texture than with amul cream. whipping or beating heavy cream is easier and takes less time. i have not used single acting or double acting baking powder. what i buy is just baking powder. i assume the regular baking powder is single acting. so you can use it any baking recipe posted on the website.
Hi i am not getting any reply from your side… Please reply…. Its a request
geetika have replied you aready thanks.
Where are my recipes getting saved? I used to save them and it used to open some other website. Now even that is not happening.
thanks sudha for letting us know. we will look into it. the recipes were getting saved on bigoven.com. you can check them here.
Hi I already do it this way and it tastes fabulous. you can also add fresh cream or home made thick malai for a creamier texture. I add both, a bit of ice cream and fresh cream. vanilla ice cream is best for blending though for topping chocolate gives a nice mocha effect.
Looking forward to more summer recipes.
thanks a lot richa for these tips and suggestions. i do add cream at times, but since i was adding vanilla ice cream, i skipped adding cream. agree with the chocolate part. hopefully i do hope to add some more summer recipes. right now i am just adding recipes which are in drafts from a long time.
