TRES LECHE

What do you know. It's Milk Shake Monday! (Well at least in our home).
Throw away your calorie counter. Put aside your ever expanding waistline blues. Forget about your jobless status and indulge in some bone-growing goodness.
Today we drink nothing but Milk Shakes. LOL. Here are 3 delicious recipes that's on the menu today, adapted from Chow.com:


+ Oatmeal Cookie Milk Shake
(Be sure to use the crunchy versions!)

method:

Combine 4 to 6 tablespoons milk, a dash of cinnamon, and 1 pint vanilla ice cream in a blender or a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse 8 to 10 times or until mostly smooth. Add 6 crushed crunchy oatmeal cookies and pulse 5 times more. Layer with caramel sauce in a chilled pint glass and serve.

"Evil but good."

+ Purple Cow Milk Shake

method:

Combine 1/4 cup Concord grape juice and 1 pint vanilla ice cream in a blender or a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse 10 to 12 times or until smooth and pourable. Pour into a chilled pint glass and serve.

"Juicy good. Might be strange in flavor for some. An acquired taste. Fun."

+ Pina Colada Milk Shake
(Adapted from Banana Foster version. Canned pineapples work as well.)

method:

Cut fresh pineapple into chunks (larger chunks for canned variety) and place in a blender or a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Add 1/4 cup dark (or light) rum. Add 1 pint Haagen Dazs Pineapple Coconut ice cream and pulse 10 to 12 times more until smooth and pourable. Pour into a chilled pint glass and serve.

"By far my favorite. I like having bits of pineapple in my shake plus the rum gives it a kick."
