Instructions
- Add the chilled cold brew coffee and vanilla ice cream to a blender.
- Add the ripe banana and pure vanilla extract.
- Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then on medium-high speed for 20 to 30 seconds, until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- Check the consistency; add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
- Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with whipped cream.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.
Tips
- Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. For a thinner shake, stir in milk gradually instead of adding more ice cream.
