Nutella Iced Coffee - Cocktail or not, it's still awesome

 

So you may or may not have noticed that I changed my 'baking' tab to a 'food' tab at the top of my little blog (it's ok, I know I'm the only one who obsesses over the details here on Patchwork.)

 

Any-hoo, there were a few reasons I did this, sorta because I am going to have a new baby in May and will have little time to bake, also because I would like to curb the expansion of my pregnant ass and mostly just because although I still love to bake, I also love to make cocktails, salads, nibblies and basically feed my family and friends. 

 

So here is the first ever non-baking recipe on Patchwork Cactus ... du-du-du-duuuuh! 

 

Nutella Iced Coffee

This little doozie came to me as I was sweltering in 42 °C heat. It tastes much naughtier than it is and can be made into a cocktail if you feel the need for something alcoholic and creamy that isn't actually creamy. 

 

Ingredients 

• One tablespoon of Nutella
• One cup of milk (I use skim)
• One shot of coffee, either from an espresso/pod machine or some instant coffee mixed with 50ml of boiling water
• About 5 ice cubes

Directions

1. In a shaker or cup, mix the hot coffee with the Nutella until is is all dissolved.
2. Next add the milk.
3. Then chuck in the ice.
4. Either shake it up or pour it all into a blender and blend (this is the preferred method) 
5. (Optional) Garnish with cinnamon, nutmeg or chocolate powder. 
6. (Optional #2) To make it a cocktail, add some Frangelico, Amaretto or Baileys before blending. 
7. Drink with a stripey paper straw because this will make it taste better.
