          VIETNAMESE COFFEE SMOOTHIE      

A Vietnamese Coffee Smoothie combines the rich, bold flavors of Vietnamese coffee with the creamy texture of a smoothie. Here's a delicious and easy recipe to make one at home:

 Vietnamese Coffee Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 cup brewed Vietnamese coffee (cooled) or strong brewed coffee

- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)

- 1 cup ice cubes

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)


Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coffee:

   - Brew your Vietnamese coffee using a traditional drip method or any strong coffee method you prefer. Allow it to cool to room temperature.


2. Blend the Smoothie:

   - In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and ice cubes. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it here as well.

   - Blend until smooth and frothy. Adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetened condensed milk if needed.


3. Serve:

   - Pour the smoothie into glasses. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.


4. Garnish (Optional):

   - You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk on top.


Tips:

- Adjust Sweetness:

 Vietnamese coffee is traditionally very sweet due to the sweetened condensed milk, so you can adjust the amount based on your taste preference.

- Caffeine Level:

If you prefer a lower caffeine content, use decaffeinated coffee or reduce the amount of coffee used in the recipe.

- Blending:

For a creamier texture, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt to the blender.
