Banana Cream Pie Milkshake
Hmmmm…Banana Cream Pie Milkshake…could there be anything more dreamy? I have always loved a banana milkshake. It seems like an odd thing, but at a local Baskin & Robbins, I got introduced to it and absolutely adored it. They would leave big chunks of banana that barely made it through the straw. I loved that you could chew as well as slurp the milkshake!
So, imagine my delight with this recipe. I adapted it a bit to make sure that I got chunks of banana in each sip. I love that it has the crunch of the banana cream pie crust mixed into the shake…graham cracker crumbs, butter and cinnamon. Oh yeah, baby!
Begin by baking the “crust”…combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and cinnamon and bake the crumbs for 7 minutes. Once cooled, you can add it to the milkshake for crunch.
The milkshake is a combination of vanilla ice cream, whole milk, a banana and some vanilla. You’re also going to add some of the graham cracker crumb mixture. Once it’s blended, add a second banana and barely blend it so that you pea size chunks of banana.
Pour it into your glass, dollop on some whipped cream, sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs and enjoy the heck out of this fun ‘shake!
