This is not a diet recipe – just one that uses wholesome ingredients! If you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, try this delicious coffee milkshake with lavender whipped cream. A unique dessert that with a soothing and satisfying effect.
What Goes in This Coffee Milkshake
Coffee ice cream: This is the star ingredient of a coffee milkshake. A nice creamy, whole milk ice cream is what I’m going for here. I usually use Greenwise coffee ice cream from Publix.
Organic whole milk: You could use a lower fat milk or even a non-dairy milk if you prefer. However, I like to use organic whole milk in my milkshakes for a rich taste and added dairy protein.
What Goes in The Lavender Whipped Cream
Culinary lavender: IMPORTANT – Make sure you buy a culinary grade of lavender that is actually intended for human consumption. You can buy this at natural food stores like The Fresh Market.
Granulated sugar: You will need granulated sugar for processing the lavender into a fine powder in a small food processor or coffee grinder.
Vanilla extract: A tiny bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Heavy whipping cream: This is where the magic happens. It’s really something when you add heavy whipping cream into the bowl of your stand mixer and mix until it becomes a fluffy cloud of whipped cream. I usually buy organic dairy heavy whipping cream. They make non-dairy options, but this will have a slightly different texture and flavor.
Confectioner’s sugar: Powdered sugar has a really fine texture, adding desired sweetness to the whipped cream while maintaining the smoothness.
