The $5 Boozy Chocolate Milkshake



I'm not a huge dessert fan... or that big of a chocolate fan... but I do like making drinks, so I decided to take my chocolate dish in an alcoholic direction.

Step 1: The chocolate ice cream. I had my sous chef on hand for this stage, and I didn't add any alcohol in yet since he's going to likely want some ice cream!





The dry ingredients all get added in, then the milk whisked in to combine.







After adding in the heavy cream I went to a bigger bowl to avoid making a huge mess.





Then into the ice cream maker... my sous chef was fascinated by this step.





After about 30 minutes... ice cream! Which needs to set overnight.



Now on to the boozy milkshake portion of the show. I used 1/2 cup bourbon, 1 cup creme de cacao, 1 cup caramel turtle flavored chocolate whiskey, and approzimately an equal amount of ice cream. This got some fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top to finish it all out. Note: The second glass was for my wife, not my sous chef!











Not going to lie, this was a delicious drink, rich, boozy, slightly sweet but also a hint of bitter roasted chocolate. I would definitely drink this again.
