Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat
what you like
and let the food fight it out inside ~ Mark Twain
Food – It is something that triggers a wave of
goodness, joy and happiness coursing through the body and mind, like
electricity, when it satiates you completely. It is probably my saviour when I
am in a bad mood and I need to elevate my mood, it is my good friend which
gives me company when I am happy! In short, we share a very unique
relationship, Food and Me, we love each other deeply, madly and truly and have
been through many thick and thins but our bond is too strong to be broken by a
few stray incidents when we have been at loggerheads with each other for days
on ends!
I am a self-proclaimed foodie and though my love
for cooking may not be as high as my passion for eating but I still love to get
my own hands dirty on some occasions. It is in these moments that I realise
that cooking and creating a dish, which, when appreciated, can be such a
fulfilling thing in itself! While making the main course can be tiresome
and requires some level of expertise, making a dessert is where you can really
let your imagination run wild and experiment to your hearts content. Even a novice
like me and someone who is short on time can really get in to the thick of
things when a dessert is considered.
Now, I love having Milk Shakes after eating like
a horse and that makes my stomach feel much lighter and I am filled with a
sense of happiness and joy when the sweetness effused in the shake is
transferred in to my body!
Here, I will share with you one of my favourite
Dessert recipe’s – The Double Trouble (Chocolate Chips and Strawberry Ice Cream) Milk
Shake!!!
Main Ingredients:
2 medium scoops of Chocolate Chips Ice Cream.
2 medium scoops of Strawberry Ice Cream.
1 glass unsweetened milk.
2 teaspoons of Sugarfree Natura.
Optional Ingredients (for Garnishing):
1-2 square broken in pieces of any chocolate of
your choice (I used Lindt Intense Strawberry and Cadbury’s Bubbly). You can
also opt for 2 Fresh Strawberries finely chopped when available.
1 scoop of Chocolate Chips Ice Cream.
1 scoop of Strawberry Ice Cream.
Directions
1. Blend all the main ingredients (2 medium
scoops of Chocolate Chips Ice Cream, 2 medium scoops of Strawberry Ice Cream, 1
glass unsweetened milk, 2 teaspoons of Sugarfree Natura) till you achieve a
smooth consistency and a thick froth.
2. Fill the Shake in two glasses and place them
in the freezer for 30 minutes.
3. Garnish with 1 scoop of Chocolate Chips Ice Cream
and 1 scoop of Strawberry Ice Cream.
4. Garnish with broken pieces of Lindt Intense
Strawberry and Cadbury’s Silk.
5. Serve Chilled!!
Drool over my Double Trouble and get down to making yours, now!!
Try a Variation!!
You can also play around by first blending only
Strawberry Ice Cream scoops with the milk and Sugar Free Natura and filling
only half a glass and letting it set in the freezer.
Till this sets, you can blend your Chocolate
Chips Ice Cream scoops with the milk and Sugar Free Natura.
You can then pour this over the set Strawberry,
garnish as you wish and can enjoy a layered Double Trouble!
I am sure that when you will all try out this
Double Trouble and you find that all your troubles are blown away in a jiffy!!
