Vegan Jamocha Shake (Maple-Sweetened!)
Description
This Vegan Jamocha Shake recipe starts by preparing cold brew coffee over several hours using ground coffee and cold water. Concurrently, coconut milk blended with vanilla and maple syrup is frozen into ice cubes to chill the shake and add creaminess. On the day of serving, the cold brew is strained to remove grounds.
The shake is made by combining multiple coconut milk ice cubes with cold brew coffee, cocoa powder, almond butter, and a pinch of sea salt in a blender. This creates a smooth, frothy drink with layers of coffee, chocolate, and nutty flavors balanced by a hint of sweetness from maple syrup. Optional toppings like coconut whipped cream and cacao nibs can be added for texture and decoration.
The method requires advance planning for brewing and freezing but yields a refreshing vegan alternative to traditional coffee shakes. The use of dairy-free ingredients keeps the texture creamy while allowing the coffee and chocolate flavors to shine.
Preparation time includes at least 6 hours for brewing cold brew coffee and freezing the coconut milk ice cubes. Nutritional content varies with optional toppings.
Ingredients
COLD BREW
- 1 cup coffee decaf as needed, freshly ground
- 2 cups water
COCONUT MILK ICE CUBES
- 1 (13.5-ounce) coconut milk can, full-fat
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
JAMOCHA SHAKE
- 14-16 tandard-size coconut milk 1 standard size ice cube is ~2 Tbsp, ice cubes
- 1 cup cold brew coffee prepared
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder or cacao
- 2 Tbsp almond butter
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
FOR SERVING optional
- Coconut whipped cream
- cacao nibs
Instructions
- DAY BEFORE: At least 6 hours before you wish to enjoy the shake, prepare the cold brew and coconut milk ice cubes.
- COLD BREW: Grind 1 cup (~80 g) of coffee beans into a semi-coarse texture (about the texture of sea salt) and place coffee grounds into a large container (such as a mason jar). Pour 2 cups (240 ml) of cold water over the coffee grounds. Cover and let brew in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 6-8 hours).
- ICE CUBES: For the ice cubes, place the coconut milk, vanilla, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth — about 20 seconds. Transfer your mixture to an ice cube tray; it should make ~14-16 standard-size ice cubes. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
- FREEZE GLASSES: Optionally, place 2-4 empty serving glasses in the freezer so they are chilled and ready for serving your shake.
- DAY OF: Strain coffee through a coffee filter or very fine sieve (we prefer using a Chemex coffee brewer and paper cone filter). You can also use a nut milk bag or doubled up cheesecloth with a strainer. Set aside.
- SHAKE: To a high-speed blender, add all of the coconut milk ice cubes, 1 cup (240 ml) strained cold brew, cacao or cocoa powder, almond butter, and salt. Blend on high until all of the ice cubes have completely broken down and you have a smooth consistency. If the mixture is struggling to blend, use the blender’s tamper to press it down, or add more cold brew 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time until it blends more easily.
- Serve immediately in (chilled) glasses (if desired). Option to garnish with coconut whipped cream and cacao nibs. To freeze, transfer to an ice cube tray and blend again when ready to serve, adding more cold brew coffee or coconut milk as needed. Or, freeze in a glass and then let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Notes
- Prepare cold brew and coconut milk ice cubes at least 6 hours ahead to ensure proper brewing and freezing.
- Strain cold brew through a fine filter to remove grounds for a smooth texture.
- Nutrition estimates exclude optional toppings like coconut whipped cream and cacao nibs.
