Mmm! Sounds good!

I have a weakness for ice cream. Any kind of ice cream. Add some milk, and I have a milkshake! I think my favorite is probably chocolate malt.

Butterscotch (don't underestimate butterscotch)
Malt Powder (more is better. The malt powder is what moves it from really good to really really good (I went to Horlick High School)).

[malik]

I leave out the banana & the spices, halve the ice cream, & use full cream milk - you've got the right idea - it's the malt that makes it special. Rock on!

I'm going to try that. Just the stuff from the jars at grocery stores or do you have a favorite brand? Today is an inside day because if rain but headed to the store to grab some stuff. Going to try it.

Quality chocolate ice cream
1 couple glugs of whole milk
several heaping spoons of Nestle Quick chocolate

Put all in a mixing bowl and get out the hand mixer.

Once it gets thinned out a bit mix in an 1/2 or 3/4 can of whipped cream until silky smooth

Pour in a stemmed glass and top with whipped cream and sprinkles

Vanilla ice cream with strawberry and pineapple.

[not-fishing]

1 scoop of good vanilla ice cream

3 "Mississippi's" of cheap brandy

2 shots of dark Cream de Cacao

Big straw optional



I spent a few years of my youth after college working in a uptown bar.  You can make "adult" milkshakes in about every flavor.

I just ride out to the Southern Flyers Grill at the airport in Brenham, Texas.  Great shakes served by lovely young ladies.

See if your local pub can make a Velvet Hammer.   Or refer to your mixology text and make one yourself.  Damn!!

I was advised by my Dr to cut back on sugar. So here is a trick I learned. Take some just ripe bananas and dice them up and freeze them. Use that instead of the ice cream in a shake, for sweetness use stevia and add some berries for flavor.

Velvet Hammer recipe

Highball Glass
2 oz Cointreau� orange liqueur
2 oz Tia Maria� coffee liqueur
2 oz half-and-half

Got a special blend?

Step 1: Find alocal shop that uses real scooped ice cream and makes a proper extra thick vanilla shake.
Step 2: Haul ass home and dump it into the blender.
Step 3: Add about 1/4 volume Bailey's Irish Cream - blend a few seconds

Drink that baby down and lament only getting myself one milkshake to hot-rod.

Coffee "Fribble" at Friendly's.  Do they still make 'em?

Try this if you have the time  http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2012/08/butterscotch-sauce-recipe/
or bottled is ok. Real sugar is best.
Bottled malt powder is harder to come by since Horlicks went to Glaxo. Ovaltine is as close as is easy to find in most stores.
Good luck.

You guys are amateurs.  I was a professional soda jerk at my dad's Rexall store for over seven years.  (what kinda jerk are you now..boom chink).  Dad taught me how to be a soda jerk, and he learned in SW Kansas back in the twenties.

For 35 cents:

--two large scoops local Durango, CO dairy vanilla ice cream,  super cold, super high butter fat
--shot of vanilla syrup, (not extract)
--shot of malt powder
--one egg yolk, no white
--milk to desired texture
--spin in the big mixer that could make six at once no problem.

Serve in tall cold glass.  Enough for two people.  Straw stands up.  Eat with spoon.  Gain two pounds. Get ice cream headache.

We mixed up all sorts of custom concoctions.  Some of my personal favorites were milkshakes using fresh seasonal, local fruit like strawberries, raspberries, peaches and such.  Another was a special chocolate malt, with a bit of marshmallow cream added.  Anything a customer wanted, we could build given the full size fountain.  One guy loved coke flavored milk shakes, we added a bunch of coke syrup.  Root beer?  No problem.  Dad liked his with a bit of rum.  Butterscotch was a big seller.  We had a full candy aisle so some people wanted heath bars, or added cashews or a full roll of lifesavers candy. 

Custom shop.

I like a basic vanilla milkshake.   But the secret is to add peppermint extract until your eyes water and you feel slightly dizzy. 

Best shake ever on a hot afternoon. 

If you make a big batch of this, most people won't be able to hack the peppermint overload.  No problem.   More for you!

So the Winter Topic is now milkshakes? Awesome. I love cold beverages and ice cream products in the winter months. I am not alone.

"I like a basic vanilla milkshake.   But the secret is to add peppermint extract until your eyes water and you feel slightly dizzy." Catnip is a mint plant. Now I understand.

What an awesome thread!  So many good recipes.

Ok...I'll add mine - enough to serve a couple of folks:

2 frozen bananas, can add a few frozen peaches too (summer time)
A generous pour of Madagascar vanilla
2 tablespoons of Horlicks powder
Pour in the Almond Milk - approx. 3 cups
Add French Vanilla ice cream
Blend in the Vitamix

or...Go to the Peninsula Creamery in Palo Alto - the best shakes I have ever had...

 Okay if you do not want to use ice cream because of the sugar, try this.  One of my hotties used to make this in the kitchen.  Absolutely delicious.  Load your blender with frozen bananas, frozen blue berries, frozen strawberries.
 Add a bit of cinnamon.  Twirl the blades until it is the consistency of a milkshake and suck it down 'til your brain freezes.
 Mo betta than a shake.

Had to make a milkshake, couldn't even wait to go out and get more malt powder and butterscotch.

Why is it that someone else always wants just a sip? For crying out loud, if I knew someone else was going to want a sip, I'd have made 32 ounces instead of 30.

Well, now at least I have a list for the weekend and next week. Going to try them all. Might burn out Mr.Oster but so what.

Now where is that milkshake emoji?

Tom,

You're really hung up on that Black Raspberry, he was gone half a day at the Ohio Rally to get a Black Raspberry shake.
