Yield: 2 large milkshakes or 4 small shakes
How do you make the ultimate milkshake? Add cherries and bourbon, of course! Sweet Rainier cherries shine with the mix of chocolate and bourbon. Toasted marshmallows will bring out your inner child while enjoying this boozy milkshake!
You can also make these non-alcoholic by replacing the bourbon with more milk (depending on the consistency desired).
Note: You will need freezer space to put your coated glasses while the chocolate sets and you mix your milkshake!
Glasses & Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ - ½ cup chopped dark chocolate, melted
- 3-4 sheets of honey graham crackers, crushed
- 6 large marshmallows for 2 large milkshakes, or 12 medium marshmallows for 4 small milkshakes
- 1 teaspoon dark chocolate per glass, finely shaved
Milkshake Ingredients:
- 2 cups pitted Rainier cherries (measured after pitting)
- 3 cups chocolate ice cream
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 4 oz. bourbon (optional & adjust per your taste)
Directions:
To create the coating for the glasses, start by crushing the graham crackers. You can pulse them in a food processor for a few seconds or crush them by hand. Place the crushed graham crackers on a flat plate (large enough for rolling your glasses). Save the remainder of the graham crackers to use as topping for the milkshakes. To melt the chocolate, you can use a double boiler (our preferred method) or a microwave. If you are using a microwave, melt chocolate in 30-second increments, keeping a close eye so the chocolate doesn’t burn. Pour melted chocolate onto a plate (should be large enough to roll your glasses on, with room to make sure the chocolate doesn’t run off). Roll your glass in the chocolate, making as large or as small of a chocolate rim as you’d like. Then, roll your glass in the crushed graham and place the glass immediately in the freezer to harden the chocolate while blending the milkshake. We like to use fancy milkshakes or cocktail glasses, but any glass will do! Use leftover melted chocolate to dip some cherries in!
To make the milkshake, place cherries, ice cream, milk, and bourbon in a blender. Blend just until smooth.
To create the toasted marshmallows, turn on your oven broiler. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and broil marshmallows for about one minute on each side. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they don’t burn!
Take the glasses out of the freezer and fill them with the milkshake ingredients. Top with 3 marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and shaved chocolate. And… of course, enjoy!
