Milkshakes, lovely milkshakes! Do you love them as much as I do?? I thought this sweet dream up while having a mommy playdate/happy hour. It was a 'grueling' 80 degrees (yes, we are pansies here in Santa Barbara!) and we were sipping on cold white wine. White wine is my favorite summer drink but it didn't seem to quench my summer thirst.
I needed something colder, something more satisfying....
And something more chocolaty!
I made this milkshake a little less heavy by using almond non-dairy ice cream and reduced fat oreo cookies. Hubby said this was one of the most decadent drinks he's had... I would have to agree! It was delicious!!
It's also very easy to adapt for your little ones. Omit the alcohol and add 1/2 cup almond milk. They will love it!

Hi!! I'm Katie and welcome to my blog, Epicurean Mom! There are two things I love most in life; family and food ~ usually in that order. This blog is dedicated to both. My love of food started when I was young helping my mom in the kitchen. Now it's my turn to teach my daughters to experiment and enjoy the process of coming up with culinary creations of their own. 
Oh Katie, this is perfection! Love that it's non-dairy too :).
ReplyDeleteBut ice cream isn't ice cream if it's not dairy. ;)
DeleteOoo, what a fun combination, Katie! Great treat for summer. Gorgeous photos, as always!
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of milkshake! :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteHeaven!
ReplyDeleteYummmmmy. I want one. Now.
ReplyDeleteYou are speaking my language :) Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is high time we enjoy something, for-adults only! ;) Thanks for sharing. Looks so enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! I like any sort of "adult" recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome and I'm thrilled it's non-dairy! I normally can't drink milkshakes without paying a high price for it later. Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteOkay, see this is why I love you. Muah, Moi! xx
ReplyDeleteA delightful milkshake! What a wonderful flavor combination. I really have to try Kahlua (I've heard so much about it...).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous clicks.
Cheers,
Rosa
I just saw this and instantly got up to make it. I'm full and have already eaten enough junk today, so I mashed up two Oreos in a bowl, added a scoop of ice cream and then the Kahlua but didn't remember the Baileys. Then I mashed until mixed. It was delicious! :D Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely sinful! And the Kahlua only makes it that much better!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - your photographs are beautiful! I wish mine came out this stunning! I am so glad I stumbled across your blog, I can't wait to follow and see what else you come up with :)
I recently started a blog of my own and would love for you to follow. Maybe we can link up sometime. New blog friends make me happy!

What a deliciously lavish milkshake! White wine is refreshing on hot days, but I'm sure it can't compare with this concoction. (Beautiful photos...I love your red straws!) :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, what a heavenly drink! It looks like I could dive right in and that red straw against the chocolate brown is such a nice pairing. I, too, am a pansy with the heat...and I am down here in hot and humid Texas. This is my worst time of year... :(
ReplyDeleteWoah! Kahula and Oreo!! Yes, yes! That is surely how I'd like to begin all my days! Heh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun milkshake! Can't wait to meet up this week! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun milkshake!!! I can't remember the last time I had a milkshake, but this definitely sounds like something I would love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic looking milkshake Katie! I can't remember the last time I had a milkshake, but this definitely looks like something I would love.
