MILKSHAKE

3 cups vanilla ice cream
½ cup milk
1 cup gingersnap cookies crushed (About 8 cookies)
1 Tablespoon molasses

½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

GARNISH

Instructions

Prepare the glasses by brushing the rims with a light coating of molasses. Alternatively, you can dip the rim in a shallow bowl.
Dip the molasses coated rims and allow excess to drip off before dipping in gingersnaps. Next, dip into crushed gingersnap cookies to coat. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, 1 cup gingersnap cookies, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla.
Blend together, alternating between low and medium speed until desired consistency is reached.
Pour into prepared glasses and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with extra gingersnap cookies and serve.

Notes

Using quality ice cream. It has a richer flavor and smoother texture.

Chill your glasses in the freezer. This will keep your milkshake colder longer so it maintains its texture.

Blend ingredients until they're smooth. Avoid over-blending, as it can cause the milkshake to become too thin or frothy.

Milkshakes are usually rich and filling, so consider serving smaller portions, especially if you're offering other treats alongside.
