Snowman Milkshakes

I thought these were an adorable idea to either spruce up your homemade snow cream OR...if you're in the same boat that my sister is in today (a snowday with no snow) you can make your own milkshakes :) This recipe has one for a santa milkshake soooo...if you're really missing Christmas, I guess you could make that too.


Milkshake:
-2 cups vanilla ice cream
-1 cup milk
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-Raspberries or strawberries for Santa
-Whipped Cream

Whipped Cream:
-1 cup heavy cream
-3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-Red food coloring for Santa

Santa's belt or Snowman's buttons:
4 tablespoons chocolate chips

Directions
1) For the belt or buttons: Melt the chocolate either in a double-boiler or in the microwave. With a toothpick or paintbrush, paint a ghost face on the inside of a clear glass. Put the glass in the freezer while you make the milkshake and whipped cream.

2) For the milkshake: In a blender, combine ice cream, milk and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

3) For the whipped cream: Whip cream until almost stiff. Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat until cream holds peaks. Put into a piping bag.

4) Take the glass out of the freezer. Fill with the milkshake. Top with the whipped cream. Serve with a spoon and a straw.
