Mocha Hazelnut Shake
The Mocha Hazelnut Shake is a delicious and indulgent beverage that combines the flavors of rich chocolate, aromatic coffee, and nutty hazelnuts. It’s a perfect treat for coffee and chocolate lovers, offering a delightful combination of flavors in a creamy and satisfying shake.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled (or cold brew coffee)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce
- 2 tablespoons hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or any preferred sweetener)
- 1 scoop chocolate ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, add the milk of your choice. You can use regular dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk substitute.
Pour in the brewed coffee that has been cooled down. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can use cold brew coffee.
Add the chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce for that rich and chocolaty taste.
Spoon in the hazelnut spread, such as Nutella, to infuse the shake with delightful hazelnut flavors.
Add the sweetener of your choice to reach the desired level of sweetness. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preferences.
Drop in a scoop of chocolate ice cream or frozen yogurt to add creaminess and enhance the chocolate flavor.
Toss in the ice cubes to make the shake cold and frosty.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or coffee strength, if needed.
Pour the Mocha Hazelnut Shake into serving glasses.
Optionally, you can top the shake with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle some chocolate shavings for a decadent touch.
Serve the Mocha Hazelnut Shake immediately and savor the delightful combination of coffee, chocolate, and hazelnut flavors.
TIPS
For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy milk and dairy-free chocolate ice cream.
You can use regular hazelnuts instead of hazelnut spread. Just blend the hazelnuts with the other ingredients for a nutty flavor.
Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences by adding more or less sweetener.
To make it healthier, use low-fat milk and reduced-sugar chocolate syrup.
For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream topping.
Make sure the coffee is cooled down before adding it to the blender to prevent the shake from becoming too watery.
You can use espresso or instant coffee for a stronger coffee flavor.
