Notes
Customization: Feel free to experiment with different ice cream flavors (e.g., chocolate, hazelnut, or caramel) to suit your taste.
Dairy-Free Alternatives: For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy ice cream and plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup. You can also skip the syrup for a more natural flavor or use a sugar-free option.
Cold Brew Option: Cold brew coffee works particularly well in this recipe, as it offers a smoother, less acidic taste than regular brewed coffee. It's perfect for a chilled ice cream coffee.
Serving Style: This recipe is versatile – serve it in a glass for a dessert-style treat or a to-go cup for a refreshing coffee beverage on the go.
Garnishing: Garnish with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair.
