Caffe latte is traditionally made with espresso coffee and lots of foamy steamed milk. Adding chocolate and banana and replacing the milk with rich ice cream elevates this popular coffee treat to a new dimension.
1/2 cup chilled espresso or strong coffee
2 tablespoons Chocolate Syrup
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup partially frozen diced bananas
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup caramel pecan or favorite vanilla or coffee ice cream
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Chocolate-Dipped Tortilla Triangle (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
