Description
This creamy chocolate coffee date shake is a thick and delicious blend combining the natural sweetness of Medjool dates with creamy coconut milk, rich cacao powder, and energizing cold brew coffee. Enhanced with a sneaky serving of frozen cauliflower and nutty tahini, this shake makes a perfect wholesome breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up with a hint of chocolate and coffee flavor.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup coconut milk (best if cold)
- ½ cup cold brew or leftover cold coffee
- ¾ cup frozen cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1-2 tablespoons cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare dates: If your dates are hard, soak the pitted dates in 1 cup of very warm water for at least 5 minutes to soften them up and make blending easier.
- Add ingredients to blender: Place the softened dates, cold coconut milk, cold brew coffee, frozen cauliflower, tahini, 1 tablespoon cacao powder, and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
- Add optional ingredients: Add any optional add-ins like chia seeds if desired for extra nutrition and texture.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients until smooth, adding additional coconut milk if the shake is too thick. Adjust cacao powder by adding another tablespoon if you’d like a richer chocolate flavor.
- Serve: Pour the creamy chocolate coffee date shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. This recipe makes 1 serving; double to serve 2.
Notes
- If frozen cauliflower is unavailable or undesirable, substitute ice cubes for a less thick but still refreshing shake.
- Softening dates before blending ensures a smoother texture and easier blending.
- Using cold coconut milk and coffee helps achieve a creamy, chilled shake without needing ice.
