Fun Beverages

One Sunday evening my children wanted me to make something for them. The traditional Sunday treat is going out for ice cream however, that day there was left over chocolate ice cream in the refrigerator so I decided to do milkshakes. 

This was one of my ideas and was not copied from any other site/recipe. Was simple and did not take much time to prepare this pretty milkshake. Once you have an imagination you can really have fun with this and it is easy enough to have the kids involved  
Fancy Chocolate Milkshake

 Recipe: Makes Two Large Servings/4 Small Servings

Ingredients:

2 Scoops of Chocolate Ice Cream (any brand)
3/4 Cup of Milk (preferred choice)

Instructions: 

Place ice cream and milk into blender, blend until well combined. Depending on how thick or think you like the consistency you can add or take away from milk measurement.

Now for the fun part, I used store bought cream cheese frosting for the rim of the glass. Ensure the glass is dry then hold the rim of the glass upside down, about an inch of the rim can be covered. Then use sprinkles for final touches. 

NB: Your preference of frosting (buttercream frosting etc.) and decoration ( grounded cookies or candy) can be used to substitute.

 What other options would you like to know about?

Chocolate Glaze The finishing touches can make or break your perfect dessert. I am not a specialist on frosting or fondant but in trying some recipes I have found a few good frosting recipes.  This chocolate glaze is taken from a "Taste of Home" dessert cookbook. It is simple and doesn't involve melting of chocolate chips which I know can be a hit and miss at times for some people. It has certainly happened to me on a few occasions and is dependent on the brand of chocolate chips used for melting.  Tips for melting chocolate chips will be given in a further post. Recipe: glazes and 9 " Cake Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter (cubed) 1/4 cup baking cocoa 3/4 cup confectioners sugar 2- 4 tablespoons  milk Hershey's cookies and cream chocolate (optional) Instructions: Melt butter and cocoa in a small saucepan, whisk in confectioners sugar and enough milk until you get a consistency for drizzling. For a little pop I coar...

Wedding Favors Made Simple Jordan almonds, assorted colours Favor Tins 1/8 " Reel of Ribbon/s of desired colour Instructions: Separate Jordan Almonds into bowls according to colours, if you intend to use a mixture of colours just place almonds into a bowl. Using approximately 6 Jordan Almonds place into favor tin then carefully place lid to cover. Depending on the size of the tin you choose you may want to add more Jordan Almonds. Cut about 5-6 " of ribbon and place around rim of tin, make a small bow pulling tight to ensure it is held in place. Below is an image to show how simple this idea is and can cut costs when having a wedding or any other function. Alternately this can be done using Mini Goblet (or any type of plastic glass) or favor containers for different occasions. You can also use different types of candy according to the occasion. Apart from needing a few extra hands to assist putting them together, wouldn't you agree that those ...
