A family who loves Chocolate would go to any extent to have chocolate in different forms…LOlzzz. Trust me, I try to make chocolate in all ways and forms possible. One of the best creations I ever did was making my own chocolate Ice cream which didn’t just make an excellent dessert by itself , but a perfect base for so many different desserts.
Chocolate Milkshake is super easy if you have chocolate Ice cream and want to serve your guests with something fancier, this is your go to dessert drink. My Boys love it as an after school snack or to entertain their friends on a play. Honestly, I have never seen an adult leave even a sip behind when served, so basically, its just a super fab Chocolate shake.
I used my home made chocolate Ice cream, little heavy cream, little sugar and milk. I made sure that the milk and cream were chilled before using. Blending the ingredients together, not only turns them into more liquid but also brings them to room temperature. Therefore, its important that cream and milk are chilled. Blending Ice cream with milk and cream and adding the chocolate syrup makes it more chocolaty and yummy.
This was my Chocolate Milkshake and then came along my boys one day asking to have a special Milkshake with waffle… I made chocolate Milkshake, and added some milk chocolate bites, some chocolate syrup and some oreos…Only for the brave of hearts…LOLzzz.
Super chocolaty and super amazing flavors…Hard to resist and much harder to not finish. The recipe for the waffles can be found in the Bread section. You can make the waffle in any of your preferred flavor. I picked Belgian waffles, since I felt they would go best with chocolate milkshake.
I have kids who happen to love Ice creams, because they are just like me…LOLzzz. I look for ways to make different flavors in Ice creams and milkshakes. A scoop of ice cream in your milkshakes not only makes your milkshakes taste better, but also more slushy and creamier.
Most times when we drink milkshakes at a restaurant, we feel that it never tastes the same at home. The difference comes from the milk and few other ingredients. Simple changes and few tricks make a big difference to the taste and you’d be surprised with how a simple switch can make a huge difference.
Generally, with fruit smoothies or milkshakes, fruits used are frozen. If you are using fresh fruits, try freezing them for 15 minutes before use. If you can’t, then make sure the milk you use should be very cold, keeping your milk in the freezer for 30 minutes should give you great results.
In this milkshake, I threw in a batch of chocolate chip cookies, vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. I even spread some chocolate sauce on the glass for decorating a little more.
Banana split is always a special treat for Ice cream lovers. When we talk of Ice cream and children, chocolate flavor is the first thing that comes to our mind.
Mr. Parveez and I loved taking walks to a wonderful Ice cream shop near our first home and that’s when we got the hang of Banana split. Though our life before children, we would get a scoop of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. After our boys joined our Ice cream lovers club, the scoops changed to chocolate only. Usually, the chocolate Ice cream would be finished by my boys, and Mr. Parveez and I would enjoy the Banana…I guess joys of Parenthood…LOLzzz. Now, this was only when we went out for ice creams. At that time, I couldn’t even imagine that I would be making so many varieties of Ice creams myself, some day.
And, then one day I started with my Ice cream experiments. Initially my Ice cream recipes contained egg. Though the Ice creams came out fantastic, but somewhere I felt they weren’t just as good as I desired them to be. Also, the fact that I knew they contained eggs made me feel that I was eating raw egg…LOLzzz. Not just that, I could never decide if I could actually smell the egg or was it just in my mind. So, with all that confusion, I decided my Ice creams had to be egg free. I started experimenting more, and after numerous failures came up with a recipe as good as store bought. I did come down to the conclusion that for that perfect creaminess Gelatin or Agar Agar has to be used in the recipe. I used Halal Gelatin, but if you are using the vegetarian substitute, Agar Agar can be used in same amount as Gelatin.
After that, one day I felt the mom in me felt that my kids weren’t consuming enough fruits and I started coming up with various ideas of making them eat more fruit. This is when I decided that I should serve then Banana split when I give them Ice cream on weekends. And thus, this Ice cream recipe. Enjoy!!!
