Escape to Morocco in a Sip: The Caravan Caffe Shake

Moroccan Caravan Caffe Shake Recipe: A Taste of Marrakesh in a Glass!
This recipe creates a chilled and refreshing coffee drink infused with Moroccan flavors.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or flavored ice cream like almond or pistachio for a twist)
• 3 Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Extra date for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. You can use a dark roast, espresso, or your favorite bold coffee blend. Let the coffee cool completely before using.
2. Prep the Dates: Pit your Medjool dates and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces. This will help them blend smoothly into the shake.
3. Assemble the Shake: In your blender, combine the cooled coffee, ice cream, chopped dates, and ground cinnamon.
4. Blend it Up!: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to adjust the amount of blending depending on your desired consistency.
5. Pour and Enjoy: Pour your delicious Caravan Caffe Shake into a chilled glass.
6. The Finishing Touches: For an extra touch of indulgence, top your shake with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can also add a whole date for garnish.
Tips:
• Coffee Strength: Don't be shy with the coffee! You want a strong brew to balance the sweetness of the ice cream and dates.
• Ice Cream Options: Feel free to experiment with different flavored ice creams like almond or pistachio to enhance the Moroccan theme.
• Sweetness Level: If your dates are very sweet, you may want to adjust the amount of sugar in your coffee or use less ice cream.
• Shake Thickness: For a thicker shake, use less coffee or add more ice cream. For a thinner shake, add more coffee or a splash of milk.
Enjoy your refreshing escape to Morocco in a glass!
