Gingerbread Milkshake (Throwback Thursday)

Yum


It's only one week until Christmas... I am so excited!  Wait... I think I'm a little terrified too.  I just realized I have some more presents to buy, wrap and food to make.   Well, I think I need a little treat to get me through all this hustle and bustle of the season.
My kids and husband love ice cream and milkshakes.  We could be in the middle of a blizzard and if there is a carton of ice cream in the house it will be eaten.  So making a holiday inspired milkshake is not that crazy for my family.   This Throwback Thursday I bring you the Gingerbread Milkshake. 
It really is easy and definitely fun to drink.  So if it's too cold for you to sip a frozen treat, turn up the heat and enjoy!
 

Ingredients:
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1-2 tsp ground ginger powder (depending how strong you want the ginger flavor)
1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon
2-3 gingersnap cookies (more for garnish)
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups milk (use less milk if you want it very thick)
1 Tbs molasses

Directions:
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth (use the lower range of ginger and cinnamon spices to start).  Taste and adjust spices as needed.   Serve in a glass with straw or a spoon.  Garnish with more ginger snaps (whole or crumbled).  Serves 2-3.  Enjoy

Gingerbread Milkshake

Yum


This is my second milkshake of the week.  Well, you must be wondering why all these frozen treats in the middle of  all the Christmas festivities.  We had a small wave of heat in our area and had 70+ degree days... so the cool treats with a fun Christmas theme worked out perfectly.  Of course if you have freezing cold weather where you live, just snuggle up under a blanket and enjoy this frozen treat too. :)


Ingredients:
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1-2 tsp ground ginger powder (depending how strong you want the ginger flavor)
1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon
2-3 gingersnap cookies (more for garnish)
