Homemade Peppermint Milkshakes

-

 This festive milkshake is one of my original recipes. It is a vanilla milkshake with crushed candy canes in it. It has a peppermint flavor. So if you would like just a vanilla milkshake skip the candy cane parts. This recipe is perfect for parties, on-the-go, or just a special treat. If you would like to try this the recipe is listed below.


INGREDIENTS- 

4 candy canes plus 1 for decoration OR Christmas sprinkles (optional) 

About 8 scoops of vanilla ice cream

1 cup milk

Whipped cream


DIRECTIONS- 

  1. Start by crushing up the candy canes. Make sure to crush them small enough to fit through a straw if you will be using one. The smaller the better. Set to the side.

  2. Put the ice cream and milk into the blender. Blend until smooth. 

  3. Add crushed candy canes into the milkshake. Give it a quick whirl in the blender.

  4. Taste test if you would like. If it is not peppermint-y enough for you, add another crushed candy cane.

  5. Pour into cup(s). If there are candy canes stuck at the bottom take a spatula and scrape them out into cup(s).

  6. Top with whipped cream and a crushed candy cane or Christmas sprinkles.

7. Enjoy!

  Angel food cake is a fluffy sponge cake made with egg whites, flour, and sugar. Unlike other cakes, it doesn’t use butter. The Baker’s Corner angel food cake box comes with 2 packets and all you have to do is add 1 ⅓ cup water. I dont have an angel food cake pan so I used a bundt cake pan. After cutting a slice from the cake. I decorated it with whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries for Memorial Day. If you would like to try this recipe the front and back of the box will be shown below with the other pictures. Appearance- Because I baked my cake in a bundt pan instead of an angel food cake pan, mine has a round top and not a flat top. I think this cake looks beautiful and fluffy. It is white on the inside and golden on the outside. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars!  Taste- This cake doesn't have a whole lot of taste to it, the toppings really add to it. It was moist and spongy. I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars.  Difficulty- The box includes easy to rea...

Simple Scones

       Scones are one of my favorites! They are a great breakfast food. I added butterscotch chips into mine and it made them taste very good. I read in the comments on the recipe that you should use a food processor instead of a mixing bowl so I tried that. It really didn’t work for me because my food processor was small. If you would like to try this recipe click here. Appearance- These scones remind me of slices of pizza. They are a tan color and the butterscotch chips add some variety. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars.  Taste- I think these taste really good! They do seem a bit dry and crumbly though. I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars. Difficulty- I think making the scones in a food processor was supposed to make it easier but for me it didn't. I would rate the difficulty intermediate.  Overall- Overall I would rate this recipe 5 out of 5 stars!                ...
