Told you I currently have a small donut issue.

Ommph.
I don’t even know what I’m doing here.
Wait. Yes I do!

You should probably make this for dessert today. Or lunch. I find that cake donuts work best for texture and taste, but um, I’m pretty sure you can use whatever donuts you want and it will still be fabulous. I mean, you’re pureeing donuts into freaking ice cream. Details aren’t THAT important.

I made my donuts… just some easy baked ones based on one of my favorite recipes ever from Ashley (who also inspired these photos… duh), but you can just as easily purchase them… most likely at a drive-thru. Who invented donut drive-thrus? Like I seriously need to be LAZIER when I want to buy a donut. Please, let me sit in my car and wait for ten minutes instead of get five minutes of exercise and walk to get my donut. Good grief. How asinine.
That kind of behavior just leads to other slug-like actions, like being too lazy to get up and throw my gum away and therefore placing it on the coffee table while writing a blog post.
Just a hypothetical, people. Let’s hope it stays that way.

It’s Friday. Eat a donut. Or better yet… drink it.

Coffee and Donuts Milkshake
Yield: 2 large shakes or 4 small shakes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup iced coffee
1 cup vanilla almond milk
2 cups coffee ice cream
1 cup vanilla bean ice cream
1-2 large cake donuts
4 ice cubes
cinnamon sugar for rim, if desired
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. If desired, wet the rim of the glass and coat it in cinnamon sugar before pouring the milkshake in. Serve!
[inspired by a shake at burgatory]
Just trust me. If you don’t… you can always add some Kahlua?

WOW. I had a donut-infused latte at JG Domestic in Philly a few years ago and LOVED IT. I haven’t seen anything remotely similar until now. I need to make this!

WHAT?! Like how do you even come up with these things? Also, do you think I could move in with you?

If I don’t want to use iced coffee, what should I use instead?

Dessert, lunch? I think breakfast! This will be poured straight into my Starbucks cup for a day that needs an extra special start! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh no you didn’t. My pants button popped off. I feel like I just looked at sugar porn.
Ugh. I love you…. but my pants hate you.

Holy hell…heaven in a glass.
I could never get into the idea of a donut drive-through. I’m the girl who spends five minutes picking out the perfect cake donut before making a selection. My donut shop must love me.

Wait a sec, you’re blending real donuts in there?? OMG that’s like heaven. Sad thing is I will feel so guilty after eating this.. or will I lol. Thanks for sharing.

I read this two hour ago, and I have NOT been able to stop thinking about donuts ever since. I don’t have a donut pan though, so…this is an issue for me.

I believe you can use a muffin pan or even a mini muffin pan for donut holes, too cute!

Those bite-sized donuts are adorable! I can’t Imagine how good this tastes. Coffee ice cream is dreamy, but add donuts to it? That sounds phenomenal!

For a start we dont have any such thing as a donut drive thru so that spins me out. I usually try to stay away from donuts, I love them but they do not love me ..but you have concocted the devils brew there Jessica and everyone needs to be very careful!!

Seriously, Jess? You’re ridiculous. Get out of here.
…and by get out of here I mean sell this recipe to Dunkin’ Donuts so I can have it whenever I want

I love Burgatory’s shakes. It would be the perfect place for me if they got their act together on the veggie burger front. I’m not such a fan of their offering.
The whiskey caramel one from the regular menu is my “usual” then this summer they did a strawberry pretzel salad one for a week. It was beyond words.

I believe what you typed was actually very reasonable.
But, what about this? suppose you composed a catchier post title?
I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid., but what if you added a title that grabbed people’s
attention? I mean Coffee and Doughnuts Milkshake | How
Sweet It Is is a little boring. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news titles to get people to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve got
to say. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little bit
more interesting.
