Coffee and Donuts Milkshake.
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.

I need this in my life. Holy wow that looks good. I’m currently drinking an Oreo milkshake and pretending it’s a coffee and doughnuts milkshake instead. (Milkshakes for everyone!) Can’t wait to make this.

Some Baileys even? :)
This is such a fun milkshake. I can see my husband looking at me like I’m a lunatic, buying the donuts and dropping them in the processor…
I love this recipe! I think the Kahlua would be a great addition. Well, maybe not for breakfast!
Ummmmm what?!
I trust you :D This is fantastic!
I love your drink! Coffee drinks are the best and throw in some donts, ummm, yes please!!! Have a great weekend!!
As I was waiting for this to open from my Google Reader, i thought “hmm.. I wonder if she’s actually thrown donuts in her blender?” And sure enough, you have and I love it!! Sounds divine!
Oh how about Baileys!!!!!!!!
Early in the morning on Saturdays about 8ish ,Market Basket here, makes their donuts They have a lightly sugar dusted yeast raised donut. It just melts in my mouth ,so fresh and slightly warm. So,so,so good.
Right before I read the last line, I was thinking that this milkshake is just begging for some more fun to be added to it (and when I say fun, I mean alcohol). Thanks for reading my mind!
Oh man. Burgatory. Milkshakes. It’s barely breakfast time!
Yes. Yes to everything about this. Thank you for bringing this into my life :-)
My day just improved beyond belief. This looks fantastic! And the donuts are adorable!
completed. my life is now completed :) THANK YOU! I’m about to throw my pumpkin spice doughnuts into this bad boy — SO.FREAKING. EXCITED.
Will you marry me?
You had so much fun with these shakes!!! love the idea :)
You slay me. This is brilliant!
These are amazing! You are amazing!
Amazing. I want to drink those all day, every day. That would be totally cool, right?
Chuckled al the way through your words while drooling over those sweet plump little donuts.
Oh my gosh, Jessica! What can be said about this? Amazing.
YUM!! Thoose straws are so cute also!! Where did you get them?
Target!
Whoa! I’m not a coffee drinker but this looks amaaaazing!
First of all, this is looks adorable. Second of all–donuts in a milkshake?!? At first, I thought it was just going with it, but then I saw the picture of the actual donut in the blender. Such a crazy cool idea! :)
will you marry me? I promise to never stop liking wine and I’ll even let you listen to country. Just keep this comin’
You are my doughnut hero right now!!! I have a recipe for doughnut cake ice cream but definitely no milkshake. doughnuts IN a blender = hilarious + awesome Thanks for linking. Can’t wait for you to try a few of the new recipes!!
Whyyyyy are you doing this to me?! I’ve been such a good girl all week . . . eating fish with olive oil and fresh greens and blah blah. I’ve earned a treat — and this is so cute.
Donuts and coffee in a milkshake? Oh my this needs to happen in my kitchen this weekend. I heart you!!!!
Heavenly. I might stare at this pictures all day instead of actually doing any work. I started my own blog after an ongoing infatuation with cupcakes, but seeing this brings me back to my sweet tooth roots – donuts were my childhood obsession and I still go a little crazy for them.
Omg.
Woah. This is awesome. Portillos has a chocolate cake shake that I made, so I’m pretty darn sure I am going to love this. I already am drooling here!!!!! Now, to pin it…do I pin it as breakfast, dessert, donut, coffee, or all the above????
This looks wicked fun! I’m not sure how I’d like chunks of cake in my milkshake–but maybe altering this to be an actual ice cream recipe would be cool?
It’s like you live in my brain.
Oh my goodness this looks AMAZING!
Ok so your photos are always beautiful but these are particularly gorgeous! The donut shot with the sugar is amazing. Do you mind my asking what type of camera/lens you use?
This milkshake is every kind of awesome. Also, I was craving Burgatory yesterday. This post confirms I must get there ASAP for a burger and shake!
o.m.g. Why has this never been in my belly before?? Seriously, I cannot wait to make my very own!! Coffee + donuts + no chewing required = BLISS
This basically just made my weekend. YUM.
Oh wow these have totally made me day or should I say life. I love coffee and donuts so combining them is a win win solution.
There is a drive-thru donut place right by my house, seriously, this is a problem!! But they would be perfect for this, I can’t wait to try it tomorrow (breakfast? I think so!)
um, this is incredible. coffee and donuts and ice cream? I love the way your mind thinks! :)
You are amazing, awesome, and everything else! You are on talented lady :-)
You put donuts. In your ice cream.
I’m speechless.
Oh good grief. I don’t believe there has ever been a better milkshake. You are a genius.
I just found out that Dunkin Donuts is finally FINALLY coming to SLC, UT. Then I’ll get to partake in doughnut drive through runs just like you! =)
Can I please just live with you?
HOLY SWEAR WORD! Genius, Jess. GENIUS!
As soon as I saw that picture of donuts in a BLENDER, my first thought was in expletives.
Holy hell. Brilliant and beautiful? I’m jealous of you. If you’ve ever dreamed of living in California, you’re welcome to live in my house and make me milkshakes. Just a suggestion.
I love that you put donuts INTO the batter/blender for the smoothie and then speared one on the straw. And the straw colors, the color of the smoothie, the donuts, I love the photography! And clearly love the recipe! AWESOME!
