Oreo milkshake

OREO... they claim it to be the world's number 1 biscuit.. it indeed is.. my 3.2 year old loves gulping them down anytime of the day.. he could even empty the entire pack if allowed.. I do restrict him to 2-3 in the evening after milk, but when my in laws or dad comes home he sneaks into the kitchen with them and has it whenever he feels like... so much so that i've started hiding them of late..

One fine evening i was just going through their page on Facebook and found this post about Oreo milkshake.. so i thought why don't i make it for him..


Preparation time: 2 minutes
Blending time: 3 minutes
Serves: 2


Ingredients: 

1. Oreo biscuits 3-4
2. Milk 200ml (1 glass)
3. Sugar 2tsp
4. Cocoa powder 1tsp
5. Ice cream (optional) i didnt use it coz i didnt have it at home..

Method: 

1. To milk break in the Oreo biscuits and add them.
2. Next add sugar, cocoa powder and blend them all well. (I used my hand blender, you can do it the regular mixer with a wet blade on)

In summer you can chill milk and make this or blend and then chill it..


Enjoy this delicious drink... it was soo delicious that i also could not stop myself from gulping it down... :)

Summer treats - Badam and cashew kulfi

Well its summer time again, time for scorching sun and time for the refrigerator to get working in full swing again. Its still February end and the heat already rising giving clear indications that its going to be a real hot summer this time around. And when you have something chilly and tasty in the freezer all members of the house are delighted.. ensured..

Tried this as starters for the weather and as mentioned earlier people at home loved it..

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Serves: makes about 16 kulfi's


Ingredients:

1. Milk 1/2 litre
2. Cashews about 20 soaked in milk
3. Badam about 15 soaked in milk.
4. Sugar 100gms
5. Khova 100gms (instead you can used the doodh pedha made out of khova)
6. MTR Badam drink powder 2-3tbsp
7. Elaichi powder 1/2 tsp


Method: 

1. Boil the milk and let it cool.
2. Grind the cashews and badam to a fine paste.
3. Add this to the milk and stir well and boil for 2-3 minutes.
4. Now add the pedha/khova (I used around 8 pedha's. If you're using pedha break them into small pieces and grind in a mixer into a smooth paste).
5. Add sugar as required (Keep in mind the amount of sugar you use while using pedha since it's already sweet)
6. Now add the MTR Badam drink powder and elaichi powder. Mix well.
7. Let this cool completely. Pour them into kulfi moulds or cups and freeze them for about 5-6 hours.

Variation: You can grind pista's as well along with cashews and badam. Add kesar for more taste.
