Coffee Avocado Milkshake (Es Alpukat)

4.2

(8)

Es alpukat, a surprisingly delicious and refreshing Indonesian coffee drink, gets its richness and body from avocado. In Indonesia, they often serve it over ice, but we prefer the ice blended right in, milkshake-style.

Cooks' note:

·If you have a large (6-cup) blender, you can double this recipe and still make it in 1 batch.
