Recipe Share: Nutella Blended Coffee Goodness
I'm not really a Starbucks fan. Never have been and as a result my appreciation for flavoured coffee is rather stunted in its development. The same goes for iced coffee, unless you consider hot coffee that went cold several hours ago the same thing. Anyways, I was messing about in the kitchen and came across several things that I wanted to use up. The following recipe was the result... sorry that I don't have a picture to share (I drank it all before that even crossed my mind).
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp. instant coffee
4 tsp. Nutella
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup ice
Garnish:
whipped cream
chocolate syrup
cocoa powder
Make It:
Hold back on the garnishes but toss everything else into your blender. Turn up your kitchen tunes so you can still enjoy them while you blend the mix until it's smooth. Pour into a tall glass and garnish to your heart's desire. You can also show a little more flair if you aren't as lazy as I am or if you're making this for guests and swirl a line of chocolate syrup inside your glass before you fill it. Yum!!
Notes:
Due to the Nutella you get a nice hazelnut flavour in your beverage so it's not necessary to use flavoured instant coffee. You can, of course, do whatever the heck you want, even mix flavours like Irish Cream instant.
I did not use the full amount of sugar I listed because I tend to like things a little more bitter than most folks. Feel free to adjust.
Despite the fact that I wanted to use up things in my pantry, I've now added things to my shopping list so I can always have the ingredients on hand for summer.
