Welcome to How To Cook That I'm Ann Reardon.
Today we are making Freak shakes which are like milkshakes that have gone crazy. Which
one would you like to have?
This idea comes from a cafe in Australia called Pâtissez they have people queuing for 40 minutes
to get one of these.
The first thing we need to do is make some ganache. Use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate
and pour over some hot cream.
I'll put all of the recipe quantities for these on the http;//howtocookthat.net website
for you, and there is a link in the description below.
Once that has rested for a few minutes give it a good stir until it is well combined and
looks glossy and yummy.
For each two milkshakes that you want to make measure out half a cup of this ganache and
put it to one side at room temperature. Pour the rest of the ganache into a plastic bag.
Flatten it out and put it in the freezer to chill so it thickens up.
If you put it in just in a bowl it will take a lot longer to chill.
All of the shakes have cream on top. So take some whipping cream and add a little vanilla
extract. Then use electric beaters to whip the cream. You'll need to turn the beaters
off to check if it is ready - this is nearly done but see how it's not quite holding its
shape it's still a bit droopy. Just give it a little bit longer... and then turn it off
and check again and that's how it should be. So you don't want to over whip it.
Place that into a piping bag fitted with a star shaped nozzle and just put that to one
side while we can make our shakes.
for the CHOCOLATE BROWNIE FREAK SHAKE
Place the half a cup of that ganache into a blender with milk and ice cream. and blend
that up well and you get a really rich chocolatey milkshake
Using the ganache that we put in the freezer so it is nice and thick spread a scoop onto
the inside of the jars. Then spread another scoop around the top of the glass, now be
really generous here because we want the to look crazy and over the top. To make it look
shiny heat the outside for a moment with a brulee torch. We don't want to burn it so
not too long just a quick pass over. Add a scoop of ice cream to each one and pour
in the chocolate milkshake. And you'll see that ice cream just float to the top which
is going to help when we are putting our cream on.
Pipe a circle of cream starting around the outside edge of the jar then around in a spiral
into the middle. Then pipe more on top because everything about these is generous and over
the top.
To each one add a square of chocolate brownie and a big marshmallow. Then use your brulee
torch to toast the marshmallow until it is brown and melted and crispy and it's ready
to serve.
For the NUTELLA PRETZEL milkshake in a blender put milk, half a cup of ganache, a big spoon
of nutella and of course a scoop of ice cream. and blend that all together.
Smear some nutella inside the jars and even more around the top. This one really is for
people who just like to eat nutella by the spoonful. Flatten it out a nit around the
top there and then add pretzels around the top of each one. Add a scoop of ice-cream
and pour in the nutella milkshake.
Pipe the cream around the top. Then add more nutella and pretzels to decorate. Yum
To make the CARAMEL APPLE PIE freak-shakes, these are my husband Dave's favourite. Take
a sheet of puff pastry and cut it into quarters.
Add some tinned apple to one side. Then fold the pastry in half over the top.
Use a fork to seal the edges and place onto a baking tray. If you're apple is unsweetened
sprinkle you may want to sprinkle a little sugar on top. and bake in the oven for 15
minutes.
In a blender pour in some milk, salted caramel and ice cream and whip that altogether.
Smear some caramel on the inside of the jar just like we did with the nutella and around
the top edge. If you want it dripping down heat it with a brulee torch and it will pour
down the sides there.. Add the ice-cream and salted caramel milkshake. Then pipe your cream
on top and put and apple pie on top of that and then drizzle with more caramel sauce.
Now for our DONUT FREAK SHAKES Place some jam around the outside of your jar and then
add some custard around as well. Put in a scoop of vanilla ice cream then pour in a
vanilla milkshake which is just made with your vanilla ice cream and milk.
Top that with cream. Then add your straw right into the center
and put the donut over the top placing it right in the middle so it doesn't slide off.
Which one would you like to have? My kids are going to eat these after school today.
