You guys, this milkshake is real serious. It combines what amounts to 2 brownies with a pint (!) of ice cream and whips it up into a half-frozen concoction that the hedonist in all of us dreams of. In fact, the real title of this milkshake is “Like a fat kid loves…Milkshake.” The always clever and vibrant Sarah from The Sugar Hit just released her first book, The Sugar Hit!: Sweets That Pack a Punch!
and nestled among the signature graphics are recipes like this one. I love this gal and her amazing food brain–check out this Jam Donut Bundt number she created as a guest post for this blog just last summer! The book has recipes for all times of the day and occasions–Breakfast & brunch, Coffee Break, Midnight Snacks, Party Time, Happy Holidays, and Healthy Junk…because I guess we can’t live off of Homemade Tim Tams, Garbage Brownies, and Giant Cinnamon Buns alone. The recipe for this milkshake in the book calls for a whole slice of birthday cake but, since I had none on hand (obviously, I’m living wrong), I subbed it out for two fudgy brownies and I think it worked out just fine. #MATH
I used coffee ice cream for this because it’s been my favorite since I was a (weirdo) kid. Use whatever you like! Whipped cream, cherry, and sprinkles optional…but, absolutely encouraged.
- 1 piece of Birthday cake (or 2 brownies)
- 3 large scoops (or an entire pint!) of your favorite ice cream
- ¼ to ½ cup milk
- for topping:
- whipped cream
- cherries
- sprinkles
- Combine the cake, ice cream, and milk in the canister of a blender. Top with the lid and blend until smooth! Pour (or scrape) into a glass, top with whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkled. Chug through a straw or just
spoon it into your mouth.
Monday just thanked you for saving it’s butt! This is fabulousness in a cup!
2 brownies and a pint of ice cream, you say? I love this. You have officially created my “happy place” in a glass.
GAH I WANT THIS RIGHT NOW
all I can say is “oh yum”!
Umm hi! I want this now. Love Sarah!
This is definitely a milkshake I can get behind. Also, I think life would be a happier place if every day involved birthday cake, fa’ sho!
This looks sooooooo tasty! I need to get my hands on that book.
OMG and HAVE MERCY (Uncle Jesse style)! Sarah knows how to roll and man, you make me want to dive head first into this magnificent beast 🙂
