Maple Shake Recipes

MALTED MILK SHAKES

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup milk and 3 tablespoons malt powder in the jar of a blender, and process until malt is dissolved. Add half the vanilla ice cream, and blend until smooth. With the motor running, add remaining vanilla ice cream, 1 scoop at a time, until it is fully incorporated. Pour half the shake into a glass measuring cup, and place in freezer. Divide remaining half between two glasses, and place glasses in freezer. Allow to chill for 10 minutes before proceeding to step two.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup milk and remaining 3 tablespoons malt powder in clean jar of blender, and process until malt is dissolved. Add half the chocolate, or strawberry, ice cream, and blend until smooth. With motor running, add remaining ice cream, one scoop at a time, until fully incorporated. Divide half the shake between two empty glasses, and top off the two partially filled glasses from freezer with the remainder. Allow the half-filled glasses to freeze for 10 minutes. Stir reserved vanilla shake before topping off remaining glasses. Garnish with malted-milk powder and malted-milk balls if desired, and serve immediately.

BACON MILKSHAKES

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat syrup and 1 slice of the bacon over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to infuse bacon flavor into syrup.
• In blender, place ice cream and milk. Cover; blend on medium speed until combined.
• Remove bacon from syrup; discard bacon. Add syrup to milk mixture; blend on low speed to combine.
• Divide milkshake evenly between 2 glasses. Crumble remaining slice of cooked bacon; sprinkle over tops of milkshakes.

MAPLE PECAN MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Add the ice cream, almond milk, 1/4 cup of the maple syrup and half of the pecan clusters to a blender and pulse until mostly smooth; there will be still some pecan cluster pieces. Divide among 4 glasses and sprinkle with the remaining maple syrup and pecan clusters.

MAPLE-BUTTER PECAN SHAKE

Steps:

• Place milk, pecans, and maple syrup in a blender and blend to break down the pecans and mix thoroughly, about 30 seconds.
• Add the ice cream and pulse several times to begin breaking it up. With the blender motor off, use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blades.
• Continue pulsing, stopping, and mashing until the mixture is well blended, thick, and moves easily in the blender jar, roughly 30 to 90 seconds.
• Pour into a chilled glass or glasses, and serve at once.

MAPLE PECAN PROTEIN SHAKE

Steps:

• Soak dates in one cup of water for about two hours.
• Put soaking water with the dates and pecans in food processor and process until smooth. That may take 2 to 5 minutes.
• As soon as the nutmilk is smooth, add maple syrup, whey protein and egg. Continue processing until everything is smooth and creamy.
• Enjoy!

MAPLE BACON MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a baking rack on top of foil layer and spray rack with cooking spray.
• Place 4 bacon slices on the prepared rack. Coat 1 side of each slice with 1 tablespoon maple syrup using a pastry brush. Take ends of each strip and twist in opposite directions until the syrup-glazed side is twisted into the interior and the bacon is coiled tight. Place toothpicks in each end of bacon strips to hold in place.
• Bake bacon in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and brush the twisted bacon with another 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Continue baking until cooked through and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool bacon.
• Place the remaining 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat; cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Keep bacon grease in the skillet.
• Transfer the bacon slices from the skillet to a saucepan, pouring about 1 tablespoon bacon grease into the saucepan. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons maple syrup to saucepan. Cook and stir bacon maple syrup over medium heat until flavors have combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool, allowing bacon flavor to infuse into the syrup, about 10 minutes.
• Remove bacon from maple syrup and place on a work surface; chop into bits.
• Combine bacon-infused maple syrup and milk in a blender; blend on low until combined. Add ice cream and blend on medium until mixed, but still thick. Add most of the bacon bits and stir until incorporated into the milkshake.
• Pour milkshake into 4 glasses and top each with 1 tablespoon whipped cream. Sprinkle remaining bacon bits over whipped cream and garnish each with a bacon twist.
