Instructions
- Prepare 2 shots (60 ml) of espresso and let it cool slightly.
- Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
- Add 2 tbsp pistachio butter, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and the prepared espresso.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon 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 2 tbsp whipped cream.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
Tips
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and let it cool slightly before blending to maintain a thick texture. You can substitute pistachio butter with pistachio syrup for a lighter texture.
