Pour into one big glass, or two small glasses. Serve immediately.

The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Tips & tricks for this recipe

Here are a few tips and tricks for making this milkshake.

For this recipe, you can use any type of milk you desire. Whether that be semi-skimmed, whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk – they’re all good to go.
You can use your favourite instant coffee granules, or you can use instant coffee powder, or even instant coffee that comes in small sachets. They all work here.
Instead of drinking cocoa, you can use flavoured milkshake powders like Nesquik. I LOVE Chocolate Nesquik in this recipe.
Why not try chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream for a double chocolate coffee milkshake?? Now this sounds heavenly!

This Perfect Coffee Milkshake is:

deliciously smooth and thick
loaded with flavour (coffee, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream!)
super quick and easy to throw together
perfect for a quick indulgent coffee treat

How thick is this coffee milkshake? Pretty thick, but not too much that you can’t sip it through a straw. It’s just right! If you’d like a thinner milkshake, simply added a little more milk.

Can I keep this milkshake in the fridge overnight? I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s best to make it as soon as you need it, and serve immediately.
