Instructions

Add 1/2 cup chilled cold brew coffee to a blender.
Add 2 cups vanilla ice cream and 1/4 cup crumbled coffee cake to the blender.
Add 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending to preserve texture from the cake pieces.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup more ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Incorporate crumbled coffee cake to add authentic coffee cake flavor and texture. If unavailable, use a soft cinnamon crumb or streusel topping as a substitute.
