Chill Banana Shake Mocktail

We know it’s already autumn, but we still would like to jump back to summer. To keep daydreaming, we have created a new mocktail that is an explosion of tropical flavors: the Chill Banana Shake. 

Fresh and tasty, it reminds us of those nice summer days, combining the sweetness of banana with the exotic coconut and the intensity of our unmissable coffee. It seems like having a dessert, with the creamy milkshake and the caffeine that makes it ideal to be enjoyed anytime during the day…or for a long night.

The recipe is by Vanessa Ferrini and Christian Tirro of Accademia Italiana Baristi, and it is super easy to replicate at home. Get a blender and your Gaggia Over Ice coffee machine, read the instructions here below, and make it!

Ingredients (for 1 drink)

– 1 espresso shot

– 1 over-ice coffee (prepared with Gaggia Cadorna or Magenta Prestige)

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

1 – Prepare the Banana Milkshake: In a blender, combine a banana, coconut syrup, coconut milk, and liquid sugar. Blend until you obtain a thick, smooth mixture. This will be the creamy base of your drink.

2 – Prepare the Coffee Cream: Using an electric milk frother or whisk, whip together the espresso, water, and liquid sugar until you get a firm, velvety foam. This will be the perfect finishing touch for your mocktail!

3 – Decorate the Glass: Use a kitchen brush to coat one side of the glass with liquid sugar. Dip that side into the shredded coconut to garnish.

4 – Assemble the Mocktail: Fill the glass with ice cubes and brew over them the over-ice coffee with your Gaggia machine. Then, pour the banana milkshake into the glass, followed by the whipped coffee cream on top. 

5 – Garnish: Top with banana chips and a sprinkle of shredded coconut or coconut flakes. Your Chill Banana Shake is ready to enjoy!
