My husband is pretty awesome! I sent him to the electronic store recently with a few gift cards that I had been hoarding for a while now. I thought he was going to come back with only video games and movies, but I was pleasantly surprise when I came home to find a new Ninja Blender on the table. We had been talking about getting one for a while, but I expected that he would wait until Christmas. I was ecstatic when I saw it and immediately started trying to decide what to make first.
When I told my husband that I would be making a Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake, he nearly jumped for joy. I think he thought that the blender would mean that he would only be drinking smoothies for the rest of his life. This is my take on something I tried a while back at a restaurant that is know for their smoothies. Enjoy!!
Peppermint Chocolate Chip Milkshake
Ingredients
2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
½ cup milk
4 Winter Oreos, broken into pieces
1 tbsp chocolate chips
1 candy cane, crushed
Whipped cream for topping
Directions
Place ice cream, Oreos, chocolate chips, crushed candy cane and milk into blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream, if desired.
Optional – add crushed candy cane for garnish. To easily crush the candy cane I broke it up into smaller pieces and put it into a Ziploc bag. Place a towel over the bag and used a jar to crush it into smaller pieces. You could also use a meat mallet or whatever you have on hand.
