"Feast of Saint Valentine"
Next to hot chocolate, a milk shake is the most common of the
chocolate beverages. However I was sure no ice would be blended in this shake.
1 I don’t have a powerful smoothie blender, and 2 don’t you hate when the ice
and other ingredients settle and separate? Yuk, so I came up with this simple
recipe that is beyond easy using no blended ice. Best part is you already have
all the ingredients…hopefully
Ice-cream, milk, cocoa powder, that’s it! The great thing
about using the ice-cream is the variety of flavors you can pair with the cocoa
powder, and its already sweet. I used a homemade rum and raisin for my milk shake. So my shake had the
ovenproof white rum flavor with the chocolate and the raisins were blended out
very finely.
I love using ice-cream as the base for milk shakes, because
your really blending semi frozen milk, so no worries of traditional blended ice separating
from the milk solids. Not to mention the yummy unblended portions of ice-cream you
may still have if not blended out thoroughly.
This recipe was truly a happy accident. I had intended on
doing fried nutella wontons for this post. However my oil was way too hot and
within seconds of dropping the babies in the oil, the wontons got insanely crispy
and the nutella hardened in the center. So that recipe is still in the test
kitchen stages. After that disaster I had to scramble and look around the
kitchen to find another chocolate recipe to replace the wontons. This is what spawned
the milkshake.

Greedy Tip:
If you’re on a diet, I’m
sure calorie friendly ice-cream, skim milk and a few scoops of your protein powder
would make a great healthy alternative too.
