It’s not yet Valentine’s Day, yet I’m seeing random Easter items already popping up in stores. While a part of me is like ‘really, already?’ – another part is like ‘Cadbury Eggs? YES PLEASE!’ While other people go crazy for the jelly beans, I’m all about the Cadbury stuff, and have been since I was little! Last Easter my mom even sent me a package with a TON of them – she’s just awesome like that 🙂 To get a little creative, let’s give this oldie-but-goodie a fresh share: Cadbury Creme Milkshake!

Did you know we’re now on Yummly? It’s such a neat place where all you do is ‘Yum’ the recipes you want to keep track of – on ours just check out the purple ‘YUM’ circle to the left. Easy-peasy, right? Be sure to yum all your favorite recipes!

When I first tried this recipe version, we’d just moved to Texas (this was in early 2013) and our old blender didn’t make it. I guess there’s plenty of other things that would be worse to lose in a move! Anywho, we had to buy a crappy blender just to get by – but NOW I have this amazing Nutri Ninja® Auto-iQ Pro Compact System that takes on my most challenging blender tasks! I highly recommend it for this creamy milkshake.

There are technically three ‘steps’ for this Cadbury Creme Milkshake: 1. The fondant cream 2. the whipped cream and 3. the milkshake. Of course, you CAN skip the homemade whipped cream and use store bought, if you’d like!

Fondant Cream

4 tbsp. Corn syrup
2 tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar

In a bowl, beat the corn syrup and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, salt and powdered sugar. Beat until well-mixed. Set aside.

Whipped Cream

1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup Powdered sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla extract

Beat the whipping cream until it starts to thicken, usually a few minutes. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Milkshake

2 cups Chocolate ice cream
1/4-1/2 cup Milk
Cadbury egg (optional)

In a blender, blend these (except optional egg) with the fondant cream until smooth. Pour into a glass, top with the whipped cream, and, if desired, crack the Cadbury egg on top as garnish (and more Cadbury egg deliciousness). Enjoy!!!

Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie

How did y’all like Halloween? As crazy as October was, I’m amazed that it’s already over! Welcome to November….the start of the two craziest months of the year, it seems! I think today we should all recover from the week’s craziness first, though, and enjoy a special treat! My kiddos are stocked up on candy, munching happily through their stash. Hubby and I do love a good candy bar treat (and may nab some here and there without the kids knowing), but often we’d rather something a bit better, such as this Pumpkin Spice Milkshake!

Even though it’s cooling down a ton during the nights here, the afternoons are still way hot and bright. This refreshing, creamy pumpkin spice milkshake has the perfect blend of flavors, making it smooth-yet-flavorful. I love it, although I’m not sure who loved it more…me or Hubby. Guess we can just use two straws and share, right?! Nah, I’ll just whip up two of this quick recipe!

Ingredients

1 cup Milk
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1-2 cups Pumpkin
2-4 cups Vanilla Ice Cream
Whipped Cream for topping, if desired

Directions

In a blender, mix everything except the ice cream and whipped topping. Once mixed, add the ice cream and blend until you reach your desired consistency. More ice cream = thicker milkshake.
Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

If you want, you can add a bit of chai tea into the blender to make this a Pumpkin CHAI Milkshake. Mmmm…that sounds really good, too! Maybe I’ll have to make a few more variations this weekend 😀
