MILKSHAKE
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup gingersnap cookies crushed (About 8 cookies)
- 1 Tablespoon molasses

Instructions
- Prepare the glasses by brushing the rims with a light coating of molasses. Alternatively, you can dip the rim in a shallow bowl.

- In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, 1 cup gingersnap cookies, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla.
- Blend together, alternating between low and medium speed until desired consistency is reached.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Using quality ice cream. It has a richer flavor and smoother texture.
- Chill your glasses in the freezer. This will keep your milkshake colder longer so it maintains its texture.
- Blend ingredients until they're smooth. Avoid over-blending, as it can cause the milkshake to become too thin or frothy.
- Milkshakes are usually rich and filling, so consider serving smaller portions, especially if you're offering other treats alongside.
