What can I say except another 5 stars :D. Made as directed except I used chocolate no sugar added ice cream (what I had). Pure delight. -
What a nice little treat for my granddaughter and myself. I added a teaspoon of instant espresso coffee mix and still found the taste not quite coffee enough for me. Next time I'll be using coffee ice cream also. No sugar added. DGD Carly says "tell her Thank You, this is yummy" Made for Kaffee Klatch, March Photo Challenge. -
Banana with coffee?!? sounds weird,but I was willing to take a chance since I had ripened bananas here and I did want to drink coffee shake too!And oh my,I'm so glad I did although I didn't add sugar since the bananas were sweet enough and I added ice cubes to the coffee in the blender. It's like having a banana split ice cream in a shake form.I just love it! Thanks, Ellie! -
Very Good, I am putting my bananas in the freezer as they become ripe to save them for this. It cured my sweet tooth after dinner, and my husband added a shot of butterscotch snhapps to his. A Keeper, thank you Ellie2. -
OMG! So GOOD! I used frozen bananas and frozen coffee (which I froze in ice cube trays. I just couldn't resist putting in a shot of Kahlua! And I dusted the top with cinnamon and sugar. I did skip the sugar in the drink and didn't need the whipped cream or shavings! Ellie you did good! Thanks!
