Recipe: Espresso Nice Cream

Start your morning strong with a scoop (or two) of espresso nice cream. Made with frozen bananas, a splash of cold brew, and just enough sweetness, it’s cool, creamy, and packed with flavour.

We use Califia Farms XX Espresso Cold Brew because it blends perfectly with almond milk for that rich coffee kick.

This recipe works just as well for breakfast as it does for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up

Serves 2

Ingredients:                  

• 1 cup Califia Farms Espresso Cold Brew, frozen in an ice tray
• 1/4 cup Califia Farms Espresso Cold Brew, not frozen (this helps the blending process) 
• 2 bananas, frozen 
• 1-2 Medjool dates
• 2 tsp mesquite powder (optional) 

Method:

1. Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. 
2. Transfer to bowls and serve as is or with choice of toppings. 
3. We recommend a vegan chocolate drizzle for added deliciousness!

A little espresso trivia to finish your scoop: Did you know the word espresso is Italian and means “pressed out”? It refers to the way the coffee is brewed under pressure, and it also happens to be how you might feel if someone tries to steal your last spoonful of nice cream.

Whether you’re fuelling your morning or winding down with a treat, this espresso nice cream is proof that coffee isn’t just for cups.
