CREAMY CHOCOLATE MINT DRINK
This is an old recipe from my childhood, growing up in hot and muggy Southern Indiana.
1 cup hot milk
1/2 cup chocolate malt powder (not cocoa)
3 cups cold milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Combine the hot milk and the chocolate malt powder, stirring until the malt powder is completely dissolved. Add the cold milk, vanilla, salt, and peppermint extract; refrigerate to chill. Before serving, add a pint of vanilla ice cream and stir until frothy. Great refreshment on a hot day!
CLASSIC CHOCOLATE SHAKE
This classic recipe is from a very old newspaper clipping about an old "Shake Shop" that was popular during the 1950s but is long gone.
1 cup cold whole milk
3 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 tbsp chocolate syrup
whipped cream
2 maraschino cherries
Combine the whole milk (whole milk is important to make a really good shake), vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup in a blender container and mix until blended. Note: The longer you blend, the thinner the shake will be. Pour into two chilled glasses, top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
Serves two.
Enjoy!
