Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup pecan pie filling
- Chopped pecans for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of bourbon, and 1/2 cup of pecan pie filling. Ensure you have chopped pecans on hand for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, bourbon, and pecan pie filling. Make sure to add the ingredients in this order to ensure a smooth blend.
- Blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender's power. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If you prefer a thicker milkshake, you can add more ice cream. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.
- Pour the milkshake mixture into two tall glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for garnish.
- For garnish, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of each milkshake. You can also add a drizzle of extra pecan pie filling over the top for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon, and enjoy your delicious Bourbon Pecan Pie Milkshakes!
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream and fresh pecan pie filling for the best flavor. If you have homemade pecan pie filling, even better!
- Adjust the Bourbon: Feel free to adjust the amount of bourbon according to your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less and add more if desired.
- Thick or Thin?: For a thicker milkshake, use more ice cream or less milk. Conversely, if you like it thinner, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish Creatively: In addition to chopped pecans, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
- Blend in Stages: If your blender struggles with thick mixtures, blend the ice cream and milk first, then gradually add the bourbon and pecan pie filling to ensure a smooth blend.
- Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing treat, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring in the milkshake.
- Serve Immediately: These milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them right after making to keep that creamy texture and vibrant flavors intact.
