The perfect milkshake for the holidays. The candy cane ornament served in the glass truly compliments the green-colored sugar, chocolate sprinkles, and red cherry over the whipped cream for a dazzling effect. I had visions of lovebirds while I created this treat which is a combination chocolate chip mint/Cookies-n-cream milkshake (but for a title, was way too long, lol). Feel free to use low-fat/fat-free ingredients as this is definitely not dieter friendly (although it's great to enjoy before you begin your resolutions in the coming year). Amounts are adjustable to your liking. Ingredients:
6 peppermint candies (or 2 candy canes broken up) |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk (1/4 cup additional if not using liquor) |
2 large scoop vanilla ice cream |
2 tablespoons chocolate chips |
4 oreo cookies, broken into pieces |
1/4 cup baileys irish cream (optional) |
2 tablespoons whipped cream |
1/2 teaspoon sugar (green colored) |
1/2 teaspoon chocolate sprinkles |
1 maraschino cherry |
1 candy cane |
Directions:
1. Place all shake ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Blend until it's as smooth as you like it.
2. Pour into a large parfait glass. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, green colored sugar, then place the cherry on top.
3. Insert a long-handled (parfait) spoon, two straws, and a candy cane.
4. Serve cuddled by the fireside listening to your favorite Christmas carols and watching your holiday tree glisten. Just like two turtle doves. Enjoy!
