Coffee Milkshake

 

Today is National Coffee Milkshake Day!! Loving coffee and desserts I had to make one, correction, I had to make two!! The first is a Coffee Milkshake and the second is a Mocha Almond Fudge Milkshake. If you are looking for a simple coffee milkshake the first is delicious. If you like chocolate or are looking for something a little richer and more indulging try the Mocha Almond Fudge Milkshake! Both are delicious and if you can’t decide I guess the only thing to do would be to make both!

If you want to make your own dairy free Coconut Milk Whipped Cream it is quick and simple. However it does take some prep as you have to chill the coconut milk ahead of time.

 

Coconut Whipped Cream

1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight

2TBSP powdered sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla

 

Refrigerate can of coconut milk overnight. Place beaters and glass or metal bowl in the refrigerator or freezer to chill to get best results. Open the can of coconut milk and scoop the top layer of white, solid coconut milk, and place in your chilled bowl. Save the remaining liquid for smoothies or baking. Beat the  coconut milk with a hand mixer on high-speed for 15-20 seconds. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla blend on high-speed for 1-2 minutes, until light and creamy. This whipped cream is best served immediately.
