Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla are the most popular milkshake flavors, but today, I turned to Argentina and Cuba for inspiration to pump up this delicious treat. I bring to you: Rum & Dulce de Leche Milkshake.
Dulce de Leche is popular all over Latin America, and Argentineans certainly love it. Rum, made from sugarcane, is also available and popular globally, but it is often said that Cuba does it best.
The secret to a good milkshake is a solid ice cream. In my opinion, the simpler the better, so splurge on a good brand of vanilla ice cream to get the best results.
Drink up! You deserve it.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups milk regular, whole
- 2½ cups evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup White Rum
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- ½ cup sea salt
Directions
- Rub the rims of 4 large glasses with a little bit of rum. Dip the rims through sea salt. Place the glasses in the freezer for one hour.
- In a blender, add all the milks, ice cream, vanilla extract, rum and 3 tablespoons of dulce de leche. Reserve the rest of the dulce de leche for later. Blend until smooth.
- When you're ready to serve, microwave the remaining dulce de leche for 15 seconds.
- Remove the glasses from the freezer and drizzle with the warm dulce de leche. Pour in the milkshake and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Enjoy right away to savor the mix of cold and warm ingredients!
Chef Notes
You could get a little creative and also rim the glasses with crushed graham crackers! Or a mix of graham crackers and sea salt. For added decadence, accompany your shake with a churro!
