Still can’t quite believe an earthquake just occurred here on the main line. Thankfully, the gentle rumble has made way for a delightful food pun in today’s Hot From the Kitchen recipe for Oreo milkshakes.
While you may think this item just fits well with the day’s events, milkshake bars have actually become a popular feature at many catered events. Offering a few different mix ins as well as two or three types of ice cream gives your guests options for dessert outside of the classic miniature pastries. Serve them in a shot glass and they become an hors d’oeuvre that is sure to be a conversation piece. Enjoy this cool sweet treat as the summer slowly comes to a close; here’s hoping for a smooth finish.
