Tiramisu Coffee Milkshake Recip

Ingredients

Coffee Base:
- 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled (or 1-2 shots of espresso)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, e.g., Kahlúa, for an adult version)
Milkshake:
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (120g) mascarpone cheese
- 2 cups (300g) vanilla ice cream (about 4 scoops)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 2-3 ladyfinger cookies, crushed (for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)

Prepare the Coffee:
- Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature. You can place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Blend the Milkshake:
- In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, mascarpone cheese, vanilla ice cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- If using coffee liqueur, add it to the blender.
- Blend on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a small scoop of ice cream.
Serve:
- Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Dust with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve for an even coating.
- Sprinkle crushed ladyfinger cookies and chocolate shavings (if using) on top for texture and flavor.
Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for the ultimate tiramisu-inspired treat.

Non-Alcoholic Version: Omit the coffee liqueur and replace it with an extra tablespoon of cooled coffee or a pinch of instant coffee granules for a stronger coffee flavor.
Make it Quick: Use store-bought cold brew coffee to save time.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 hour. Re-blend briefly before serving to restore texture.
