When a box arrives in the mail from my friends at Martha Stewart Living, I always know there will be fun times to be had. This particular mail day I was excited to find they shared some adorable Martha Stewart glasses from Macy’s with me, and Kerrygold® Irish Cream Liqueur to experiment with! Given our recent heat wave and general summer celebratory mood, I decided to try my hand and mixing up a batch of spiked milkshakes for a simple dessert-cocktail.
Combining dessert and cocktails in one almost shouldn’t be allowed, because they’re the two very best things you can consume – putting them together feels downright indulgent. Indulge we did, and blended together the velvety Kerrygold® Irish Cream Liqueur made with real chocolate (yum), scoops of coffee and chocolate ice creams, and served them in glasses drizzled with caramel sauce. These milkshakes demand a little whipped cream to finish them off, because go big or go home, right?
These spiked milkshakes were a good reminder that I should probably use my blender more, because it’s one of the easiest ways to create a quick and easy treat or meal. It’s so quick in fact, that you can quickly blend a liquor free batch for kids (or as a mocktail for pregnant friends, I happen to have quite a few of those these days and I think they’d be delighted to hear milkshakes were on the menu!).
It’s also a great base for tons of other flavor combinations. Swap in a vanilla ice cream or fudge swirl for different milkshake flavors, or jazz it up with a dash of sea salt in your caramel or swirl in hazelnut spread for nutty notes. Get the full recipe below and start mixing up your own batch!
- 1.5 ounces of KerryGold Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1 large scoop of coffee ice cream (about ½ cup)
- 1 large scoop of chocolate ice cream (about ½ cup)
- ¼ cup of whole milk
- Caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Combine KerryGold Irish Cream Liqueur with ice cream and milk in a blender; blend until smooth.
- Drizzle the inside of a glass with caramel sauce and pour in milkshake mixture.
- Garnish with whipped cream and enjoy!
- *Makes one milkshake: multiply the ingredients by the number of servings to increase yield.
