Tahini Milkshake
Description
To create the milkshake, most of the almond milk is frozen into ice cubes to chill and thicken the drink. The remaining almond milk is combined with ripe bananas, tahini paste, and a touch of cinnamon in a blender until smooth and creamy. The result is a rich, nutty-flavored milkshake with a natural sweetness from bananas and a hint of spice from cinnamon. The nutty tahini adds depth without overpowering the other ingredients.
Divided into serving glasses, the milkshake is topped with vegan whipped cream and crushed cookies to introduce contrasting textures and additional sweetness. Fresh strawberries can be added for a fruity note and color. This combination suits those seeking a plant-based creamy treat that balances nut, fruit, and spice components.
The recipe suggests storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though it is best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture and freshness. Substitutions for almond milk or banana include other plant milks or fruits like dates, pear, or mango, though following the recipe as given is recommended for best flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk freeze 1.5 cups
- 2 banana
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- vegan whipped topping for serving
- COOKIE for serving, crushed
- strawberries for serving
Instructions
- Pour 1.5 cups almondmilk into an empty ice-cube tray; freeze 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to make the milkshake, pour the remaining half cup almond milk into a high speed blender, followed by the bananas, tahini and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Divide evenly among two glasses and top with cool whip, crushed biscuits and maraschino cherry, if desired.
Notes
- Freeze 1.5 cups of almond milk before blending to create a thicker, colder milkshake.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smoother blending.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours; best served fresh.
- Optional substitutes include other plant-based milks or fruits like dates or mango, but original ingredients yield the best results.
- Using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
