of anything better.
Hot Fudge Bourbon Milkshakes
[discovered on Pinterest, adapted from Imbibe Mag]
makes 2 big shakes
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces bourbon
1/2 cup hot fudge + 2 tablespoons
At the bottom of each glass, add 2-3 tablespoons of hot fudge. In a blender, combine milk, ice cream, vanilla extract, bourbon and about 1/4 cup of hot fudge. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into glasses and top with bourbon whipped cream + a another tablespoon of hot fudge.
Note: hot fudge milkshakes have been one of my family’s summer staples my entire life. They are MUCH better than regular chocolate milkshakes, and I highly encourage you to try one sans bourbon too!
Bourbon Whipped Cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 tablespoon sugar
Whip ingredients together in an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Top shakes. [I used this neat thing my brother got me for Christmas one year.]
Pinterest is killing me.

Pinterest is amazing! I have so many things on my “recipe” board that I want to make, and my husband says I’m forcing him to eat the cookies and other desserts I’ve found on Pinterest. oh well :)

This shake is mesmerizing.

This is completely healthy right? I mean, there’s milk in the whipped cream…so therefore I can justify it happening in my life, right about now…

The only thing that I can think of that would make this better is if you packed up these milkshakes and headed out to CO to sit by the pool with me today. Bring the puppy, mmmkay?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn. I’ve always preferred my bourbon with something sweet – ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE. My husband has been sober just over 6 months. I’m so TORN! Wonder if I could get him to go out of town for a weekend??? lol

OMG. This is going in my blender right now. Then in a tall glass which I will enjoy while sitting on the back porch in the swing.

Chocolate + Bourbon = Love!

Please make a Kahlua milkshake. Like, now. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Kahlua and milk. My brother even liked to drizzle it on ice cream. Suhhh guuuddd. I don’t think I even need to defend the “kid” part of this story. I’ve read your blog. You make margaritas in the morning. ;)

Fabulous! So rich and creamy bourbon. Perhaps I can drizzle it on cereals. I love the looks of it as a refreshing shake.

Oh, this is FABULOUS! I love hot-fudge in anything…
