Oreo Cookies and Cream Chocolate Milkshake

Receta en español aquí

In hot summer nights,  sometimes we prefer to have a very chilled milkshake for dinner than another thing. This milkshake in particular  with chocolate and a good dash of Baileys is one of our favorites.

I usually prepare the milkshake after lunch so it is all  the afternoon in the fridge, to be at its best at the night, because the colder the better (you need just a little patience to wait ...) 

It is also quite quick to prepare and more if we choose to use the spray cream. But I  personally prefer to use whipped cream cause the spray cream  did not keep it's shape and turned into a liquid quickly while the whipped cream kept it's shape. So if you want to use spray cream, decorate the milkshake just before serving.

Well, I think  the only bad thing it is  how little this wonderful milkshake lasts, it takes only a moment to drink it …  and I recommend you to take a walk after drink it hehehe.

Ingredients (2 servings)

8 Oreo cookies or similar (add more or less cookies depending  on how thick you like your milkshake)

200 ml of whole milk or semi- skimmed

3 scoops of chocolate ice cream

1 dash of Baileys coffee (if not for kids)

A little of melted dark chocolate

To decorate

Mini cookies oreos

Melted black chocolate, and if you like dulce de leche

Spray cream

or whipped cream, in this case:

200 ml whipping cream

1 tablespoon of powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place the milk,  the ice cream and the cookies broken in pieces in a blender container (I use a hand held blender).

Blend  one minute on medium speed or until smooth. Add more cookies if you like it thicker.

Pour  the mix in the milkshake glasses. Add to each glass a dash of Baileys or other liquor, only if it  is not for kids, and a little of the melted chocolate (then we'll find chocolate in the batter cold).

 Serve very cold and decorate just before serving with the spray cream or whipped cream.

Whipped cream:

In a deep bowl, previously cooled in the fridge (this is better to whip the cream), put cold whipping cream. While whipping add icing sugar and vanilla extract.  Cream is whipped when form soft peaks. Don't over-whip the cream or it turns to butter.

Put the cream on top of the milkshake with the help of a pastry bag with starry nozzle.

Melt chocolate and pour over the cream with a teaspoon. Add if you like dulce de leche and top with a couple of mini oreos. And enjoy!
