Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful for this recipe.

Method

1. Prepare a strong coffee (if you are not using coffee simply omit this part)
2. Place the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
3. Process on the highest speed until a well-blended purée forms, about 1-2 min, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container once or twice. Serve.
