Do-Si-Do Milkshake

By stancec44

What you need: Ice cream, milk, flavorings of choice, a blender and our game-changing ingredient…milk powder.

What you do: Add a few scoops of ice cream to your blender, your desired flavorings and a splash of milk (go easy, you can always add in more later). Next add a tablespoon of milk powder, blend low and slow and ta-da—milkshake perfection.

Why this works: Milk powder is just milk that’s been processed into a dry ingredient (giving it a long shelf life and no need for refrigeration), so it’s ideal for giving your shake all that delicious milky flavor without watering down the consistency. Mmm, so creamy.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 small peanut butter cookies (or shortbread cookies)
• 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• Whipped cream, for finishing
• 1 Tbsp. dry milk powder (see above)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to combine.

2. Scoop a quarter of the peanut butter onto the back of a spoon and then swipe it across the inside of a tall glass. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture to cover most of the inside of the glass.

3. In a blender, pulse the cookies until they are coarse crumbs. Remove and reserve 1 tablespoon of the crumbs.

4. Add the ice cream and milk to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the milkshake into the peanut-butter-lined cup.

5. Serve immediately, garnished with whipped cream and the reserved cookie crumbs.
