I’m an absolute FIEND when it comes to frozen treats. I especially love ICEES and milkshakes. Chocolate has always been a classic favorite of mine, but I never pass up the chance to try a new flavor. A few years ago around Christmas time, Burger King had a Gingerbread Cookie Milkshake. Oh my goodness! That thing was SO good! Every fall and holiday season I hope they will bring this yummy treat back, but so far I’ve been out of luck!
Finally I did some searching and found a few different recipes for gingerbread shakes and other treats. And I finally made my own Gingerbread Cookie Milkshake at home! The secret ingredient (besides these adorable little Pepperidge Farm Gingerbread Cookies) is a little molasses! I have to admit, when I first looked at all the different cookie and shake recipes calling for molasses, I was really thrown! Even as I was making the milkshake, I tasted a tiny bit of molasses and thought, “Ugh! How is THIS going to taste good?”
But amazingly it totally WORKS! The shake turned out absolutely perfect! It met my expectations and so much more! So if you like gingerbread cookies and you like milkshakes, you simply have to try this recipe! [Read more…]
