Hope everyone is ready for a great weekend!! Since I did not get to post this recipe yesterday, I thought I would today. It will be close to 100 degrees this weekend so why not feature a drink with some ice cream in it?! Plus, Chief's birthday is tomorrow. He likes cookies. He likes shakes. He likes ice cream. Why not combine his favorites?
I found a recipe online but decided to change it up a little. If you don't have a blender, don't substitute your kitchenaid mixer for it. Just go buy a blender. Trust me...that's why there is not a picture of a sweet little hazel-eyed boy sipping away on his shake. But I will get my blender this weekend so I can make a good thick shake for the birthday boy.
You need:
3-4 scoops of vanilla ice cream-homemade vanilla, classic vanilla, vanilla bean (whatever your preference is)
1-2 chocolate chip cookies, crumbled (homemade or store bought; your preference)
1 cup of almond milk
A Handful of chocolate chips for topping
In a blender, combine the ice cream, crumbled cookies, and almond milk. For a thicker shake, use 4 scoops. I liked 3 scoops in mine. If you add too much ice cream, just add a little more milk to thin it out. Blender until semi-smooth. Then pour into your glass and top with chocolate chips. Perfect!!
