Ho ho it's time in Steve's kitchen to make a Freakshake and coming up to
Christmas why not make it a Christmas freakshake and don't forget we'll be
operating electrical appliances in the kitchen you're going to need your Santa
safety sunnies on, so let's get on and make this Freakshake.
This is a great one to make with the kids on Christmas Day or you could
actually make it the day before, we can decorate these glasses and you can serve
the Freakshakes on Christmas Day. Now I've made a chocolate ganache here, I
thought about this afterwards, I could actually probably have just used a
Nutella. Now we take some of this chocolate ganache and just put it around
the top inch or so of the glass. With that nice sticky ganache on the top I'm
going to take some M&Ms, I've got the Christmas M&Ms, so we've got the red ones
and the green ones and I'm just going to go around the outside of the glass,
alternately green and red. I'll try and get the m's facing out if I remember, oh
look at that perfect, we ended up with two greens. Now I've also got some
marshmallows I'm not going to go with any particular style here, I'm just going to
stick a few marshmallows on there. We've also got some caramel popcorn now it's
possible I might need a little extra chocolate ganache to stick these on so
I'm just going to sort of push them on to the side of the glass. I want it to look
as abstract and as crazy as possible. Now when you've finish your decoration on the
outside of the glass, set it in the fridge, let it firm up as I've done here and then it
gets nice and firm. Now Michele's actually done one down
here as well, so you can see her effort, she's cheated a little bit, she's put an
Elf on there which maybe makes it look a little bit better, I would point out
she's also got a bit messy and got chocolate on the inside of the glass .Now
this is not a competition but you can always vote down below by saying which
is best Steve or Michele that's Steve s t e v e and Michele s t e v e. So we're
going to make a nice simple ice cream based milkshake. I'm going to say maybe a couple
of scoops of ice cream per glass. Now we're going to add a little bit of milk in
there, just to loosen the ice cream up a little bit, pop the lid on nice and tight
and we're just going to blend this for about a minute to get a nice shake
Now I want to add our milkshake into the glass and stop about maybe an inch and a
half from the top, add a big scoop of ice cream on top of the milkshake. Now I'm
just going to take a candy cane I'm going to slide it in beside the ice cream,
at a little bit of an angle and then I've got some fresh cream, I'll start on
the outside, just go around the candy cane. Now this is a freakshake so we're
going, going to go nice and high with the cream. I've got one mince pie here, I want
to actually stick it into my cream somehow, I hope this is going to work,
it'll probably all collapse and go pear-shaped. No that looks pretty good
and then what we want to do is just take some of our M&Ms and decorate the
outside of this, just go crazy. I'll actually put some popcorn on there as
well. Now I've got a big long straw with a Santa Claus, I'm going to push my way
through that, it's going through the ice cream, into the milkshake. Got another
straw here which I've managed somehow to get a mince pie to stick to and just to
finish it off, for no reason other than I can, I've got an umbrella on there as
well. How cool does that look this is completely nuts, one of the craziest
drinks I've ever made, lots of fun, it looks fantastic, the kids are going to
love this. Be a little careful, make sure your glasses aren't too thin, you don't
want the children to cut themselves while they're having fun with a freakshake
These are pretty sturdy glasses. Time for me to give this a try....
mmm Lot of fun.... Oh yum yum yum. A huge Merry Christmas to you wherever you are,
have lots of fun this Christmas, make a Freakshake, send me across a picture on
any social media you like, be good and I will see you in another Steve's kitchen
very shortly, take care.
