I've reached that point in my life where an additional burst of caffeine is needed in the afternoon to keep me alert until bedtime and I'm sure many of you readers know exactly what I'm talking about. With this milkshake recipe, you can swap out the afternoon iced coffees for something a little more creamy and fun.

I love milkshakes and we have several great milkshake recipes on this blog but this chocolate coffee milkshake is my favorite. Mostly because I don't have to share it with anyone else but also because it helps me feel less bad about not finishing the coffee in the pot. (I brew it half a pot at a time).

This homemade coffee milkshake is perfect for so many reasons. I mean, it's a coffee ice cream milkshake, that's like three of the best things- in one!
