Looking for a totally easy dessert to serve at your next dinner party that’s guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face?
Look no further. This milkshake bar is the answer.
It takes about two minutes to whip up a batch of super-creamy and luxurious vanilla milkshakes. Offer a few liquors to your guests to top them off – I’ve included ideas below, but feel free to offer one or two of those or whatever you prefer – and I guarantee everyone will be happy.
When I served these milkshakes, everyone was stuffed. I mean, almost to the point of discomfort. Have you ever served your guests so much food that they didn’t have room for dessert? I thought that may have been the case that evening. I thought after cupcakes, there was no way they’d have room for milkshakes. I offered anyway, of course. And can you guess what the answer was?
Hell, yes.
Maybe my friends are gluttonous. Maybe a vanilla milkshake bar with assorted spikers is just too good to pass up. You be the judge.
Vanilla Milkshake Bar
For the Milkshakes:
- 4 cups good vanilla ice cream {I like either Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry’s}
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Assorted Spikers:
- Grand Marnier
- Jim Beam, or other Bourbon whiskey
- Kahlua
- Bailey’s Irish Cream
In a blender, combine all milkshake ingredients until smooth. I think milkshakes need to be thick – but feel free to add more milk if you prefer them thinner. Serve immediately, in tall glasses – and leave some room at the top for spiking.
Offer guests the option to add a pour of liquor to their milkshakes. Enjoy.
A really good idea since the spacing you leave from the top of the glass is equal to the just-right amount of alcohol to put in! I like it!
