I feel that desserts get the short end of the stick at Thanksgiving. At least, they kinda get the cold shoulder from me.

Thirsty Thursday: S’mores Milkshake

June 6, 2013

S'mores Milkshake
So there is an ice cream truck that has been taunting me every night since it drives right down our block. It alternates between playing “pop goes the weasel” and “la cucaracha”. We live in a Hispanic area so the later song selection makes sense.

Thirsty Thursday: Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes

March 21, 2013

Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes

Like O.M.G.

My favorite parts about Easter are all the rabbit themed goodies I see around and Cadbury Creme Eggs. The best thing ever is catching the classic Cadbury Bunny Tryouts commercial. I love it so much. Plus I’m still ease-dropping on my rabbits waiting to hear them cluck like a chicken. No success yet 🙂

So I took my love of my Cadbury Creme Eggs and went a little crazy this year and whipped up some cavity inducing recipes. First things first is the shake!

Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes_01 Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes_02

I was inspired by the Cadbury Shake in The Good Stuff Cookbook by Spike Mendelsohn. I thought it was all so much fun to make a Cadbury Creme Egg shake. I prefer a thinner constancy shake so I added some milk to the ice cream before blending. Adjust the amount of milk and butterscotch or chocolate sauce depending on preference.

Enjoy your own or pour the shake into a big glass and share with someone who loves Cadbury Creme Eggs as much as you!

Chocolate Cadbury Egg Milkshakes

Makes 2 8-oz milkshakes

Ingredients

  • 3 generous scoops of chocolate ice cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 Cadbury Creme Egg
  • whipped cream

Process

  1. Halve the Cadbury Creme Egg by cutting lengthwise, set aside.
  2. Drizzle some butterscotch sauce and chocolate sauce onto the sides of the glasses. 
  3. In a bender, combine the ice cream, milk, and the butterscotch and chocolate sauces. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour the blended shake into the prepared glasses and top with whipped cream. Place a half of the Cadbury Creme Egg into the whipped cream and then drizzle some more of the sauces on top for good measure.

Thirsty Thursday: Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake

January 24, 2013

peanut butter cup milkshake

It’s the coldest it’s been in Boston in a long time. So why the hell am I posting about a milkshake. Why the hell not!?! Put a hat on, wear some gloves inside, whatever, just make sure you give this shake a try.

Every holiday season I go on a candy buying binge and act as if all the M&M’s and Reese’s peanut butter cups are going to run out. I did a good job putting a dent into that stash this year but I still had plenty of Reese’s cups hanging around. That might happen when you buy 8 bags… really, what was I thinking? So, I ran over to my huge bin of goodies and dug out a bag to have fun with so I could mix of this shake.

This Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake is in honor of National Peanut Butter Day, which is why this week’s theme for Thirsty Thursday is peanut butter. I had a lot of ideas about what I would whip up but decided with something simple, indulgent, irresistible, and packed full of candies. It’s easy to make, if you can pour milk, scoop ice cream, and chop up some candies you are good to go. I suggest that you finely chop the pb cups as the chocolate will freeze once it hits the cold ice cream so the smaller it is the easier & faster it is to blend.

Amanda has whipped up some awesome Peanut Butter Waffles. Peanut Butter Waffles?! That sounds perfect for a homemade weekend brunch! Ooo ,maybe with some bacon! Wait! How about some hot maple syrup with sliced banana on top! I think Elvis would be proud.

Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake

Makes 1 large milkshake or 2 smaller milkshakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 8 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, finely chopped

Process

  1. Blend together the milk, ice cream, and peanut butter.
  2. Once the shake is a smooth consistency add in the chopped peanut butter cups and blend until just incorporated.

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes

November 2, 2011

After when we went Zorbing, Pricer, Emily and I went to Sonic for some dinner (because we are horrible influences on Em). I am addicted to their limeades. Addicted. But getting to the point, in the end we got a pumpkin pie milkshake to split. Unfortunately, it was not really good. The shakes was SO thick that it was more of a chore to drink than anything. It was topped with a whipped cream that was super sweet and dense. It was too much for the 3 of us to conquer- that’s saying something! In the end it worked out since I decided to create some lighter milkshakes at home.

 

Making my own pumpkin pie milkshake allowed me to control the calorie count, density, and flavors. This shake is perfect for fall since it takes the flavors of pumpkin pie and delivers it to your all in your glass. Plus it’s on the healthy side since it uses unsweetened pumpkin puree, a small amount of ice cream*, low-fat/skim milk, and no whipped topping. Sure you can add the whipped topping but does it actually contribute to the milkshake? No! it’s just on top. Save the calories & fat for a cookie, I know there will be plenty of them around during the holiday season.

 

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes

-serves 4-

Ingredients

  • 1/2 can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 small scoops of ice cream, or frozen yogurt (non tart)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups of low-fat or skim milk

Process

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender, blend until combined and completely smooth. 
  2. Serve!
*When I make ice cream that I will use in a recipe, such as a milkshake, I make it with low fat milk to reduce the calories and fat in the ice cream. Yes, it does not have the same texture as a full milk ice cream, but you are blending it into the milkshake so the texture becomes a non issue.
