Chocolate Milkshakes


We LOVE these milkshakes! They are rich, thick, and delicious and do so much for ice cream cravings. The ingredients are those that we always have on hand, so I get requests for milkshakes a few times each week. A real treat!

Recipe from Hillbilly Housewife
  • 1-1/2 to 2 C. cold water
  • 1-1/2 C. dry milk powder
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1/4 C. baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1-1/2 to 2 trays ice cubes, crushed
  • 2 T. oil
  • 5-second squirt cooking spray
  • 1+ T. peanut butter
Place all ingredients in blender. Process for 1-2 minutes, scraping sides once or twice.

The oil is for emulsification purposes; may seem strange, but it works. As a word of warning, depending on your type of blender, well-crushed is might be necessary. Ours broke due to the wear and tear, and we had to replace some parts.
