Notes

Adapted from Sugarhero.

Start by adding 5 large scoops of pink ice cream to a blender.

I used Cherry Chocolate Chunk.

Now add half a cup of French Vanilla creamer {or use milk}.

Finally add 1 cup of chopped fruit. I used strawberries. 

Blend until smooth.

Add a layer of pink frosting around the rim of both glasses. 

 Roll the frosting coated rims in decorative sprinkles until completely covered.

 Pour the milkshake into the cups.

 Fill to the top then get ready to decorate!

First top with whipped cream then add your favorite colorful toppings.

Stella loved adding lots of sprinkles.

We added cotton candy, colorful marshmallows, wafer cookies, 

Nerds ropes, and a unicorn horn lollipop!

 Stella’s last birthday party was a unicorn party and this treat was perfect for her special day!

 Add a straw {ours was candy coated because why not?} and drink up!

I don’t know about y’all but one of my favorite things about fall and winter and the chilly weather that follows is getting to cuddle up with a big ol’ mug of hot cocoa! I am one lucky girl because Stephen’s Gourmet Cocoa sent me a variety of their rich and creamy cocoa to sample! After one sip, I was hooked! No other brand even compares! It truly is the best tasting cocoa I have ever had.

So I knew I needed to step it up a notch and make a hot chocolate creation worthy of such a decadent cocoa. After sampling the three flavors I was sent: Salted Caramel, S’mores, and Candy Cane, I decided to make a Frozen Hot Cocoa! You heard me right – a Hot Chocolate milkshake {is your mind blown?!}. I added Stephen’s Cocoa to the shake and the homemade marshmallow whipped cream and let me tell you it was out of this world amazing!

The post Thick and Creamy Peach Milkshake and MelanSol Sunscreen Review appeared first on For the Love of Food.

Ingredients:  

• 2 large bananas, sliced
• 2 cups of Cold Stone Creamery “Sweet Cream” flavor by International Delight
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tbsp butter, unsalted
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 box (approx 40) Vanilla Wafers
• 1 box (approx 3 oz) vanilla or banana flavored pudding mix

•  1 – 2 cups whole milk (depending on how thick you want it)
• 4-5 heaping scoops Caramelized Banana Pudding ice cream
• 2 cups Marshmallow Whipped Cream
• 2 Vanilla Wafer cookies, for garnish
• 2 straws
  

•  1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp sugar
•  1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions: 

1.  Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat.
2. Add brown sugar, stir and caramelize and darken slightly, about 30 seconds
3. Add sliced banana and stir until softened and caramelized, about one minute. Remove from heat.
4. Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until they are crushed down but still have some texture and small chunks. 
5. In a large mixing bowl with a mixer attachment, combine caramelized bananas, crushed vanilla wafers, dry pudding mix, milk, and Cold Stone Creamery “Sweet Cream” flavor by International Delight. 
6. Blend on low until combined and use a rubber spatula to make sure all the dry mix is incorporated in the bottom of the bowl. 
7. Pour into a freezer bowl of an ice cream machine and mix according to ice cream machine instructions, usually about 20 minutes.
8. When the ice cream is finished it is very soft (but mighty tasty!). I recommend putting it in a freezer safe covered container and freezing for another 2 hours before preparing the milkshake. 

1.  Add 4-5 scoops of Caramelized Banana Pudding ice cream to a blender.
2. Add 1-2 cups of whole milk (start with one cup and add more if it is too thick)
3. Blend until smooth and combined.
4. Top with Marshmallow Whipped Cream, a straw, and garnish with a vanilla wafer cookie. 

1. Chill a mixing bowl and mixer attachment in the freezer until ready to use.
2. Remove bowl and mixer from freezer and add heavy cream, marshmallow fluff, vanilla, and sugar to the bowl.
3. Mix on high until soft peaks form.
4. Serve a large scoop on top of each milkshake or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Now time for the milkshake!

 Take your hardened ice cream out of the freezer. Add 4-5 heaping scoops to a blender.

 Add 1- 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk to the blender and mix until combined.
Top with a mound of whipped cream, a straw, and a vanilla wafer.

Not a fan of whole milk? This is a decedent treat friends and whole milk, along with full fat ice cream, will give the milk shake a thicker, smoother consistency (more than skim or low fat varieties). 
Another tip: Keep the milk nice and cold until you are ready to blend (you can even put the blender jar in the fridge until ready to use) and make sure the ice cream is frozen and right out of the freezer. 

 

Don’t forget the secret to perfect whipped cream:
freeze your mixing bowl and mixer attachment! 
Make sure it is icy cold when you are mixing your cream and sugar on high and you will get fluffy whipped cream in no time!

 

Cool down and treat yourself to this decadent summertime dessert!
