Mini Milkshakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the milk, peanut butter and banana in a blender and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the ice cream and blend until combined but still thick. Pour into small cups.
• Thin the strawberry preserves with 1 to 2 teaspoons water. Add a dollop to each cup and swirl using a long skewer? have fun with it! Top with the crushed peanuts and put a sliced strawberry on the edge of each cup.

Steps:

• Put the banana, half the milk and half the yogurt in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into two or three milk bottles. Divide the blueberries between two skewers to make stirrers, then drop one into each bottle. Stir before serving.
• Put the strawberries and six raspberries in a blender with the rest of the milk and yogurt. Blend until smooth, then divide between two small milk bottles. Push the remaining raspberries onto two skewers to make stirrers as before.
• Blend the mango and coconut milk until smooth, then add a squeeze of lime. Divide between two milk bottles and serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a mini-muffin pan with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the egg, milk, water, oil and vanilla and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter equally into the mini-muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, with no crumbs attached, about 18 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the whipped cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip until the cream has soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Transfer 1/4 cup of the whipped cream into a piping bag and frost 6 of the cupcakes. Decorate the cupcakes with some of the sprinkles. Place the frosted cupcakes in the freezer and chill the rest of the whipped cream in the refrigerator while you make the shakes.
• For the shakes: In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk and cocoa powder and blend until smooth. Add the unfrosted cupcakes and pulse a few times to incorporate, then puree until the cupcakes are mixed well throughout. Pour the milkshakes into 6 glasses and top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a few more sprinkles. Push a straw through each frosted mini cupcake and insert the straws into the shakes.
