Spicy Peach Milkshakes and a MILKSHAKE BAR cookbook giveaway

We have a winner to announce for Bake No Prisoners Milkshake Bar GIVEAWAY! Our winner will receive a copy of the Milkshake Bar, by Hannah Miles!

The winner is……comment #5!!!!!

School is back in session this week and we are celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of the new school year with one of my favorite things…MILKSHAKES!! And to top it off, BNP is giving away Hannah Miles’ MILKSHAKE BAR cookbook! It is filled with everything from Lemon Meringue milkshakes, to Watermelon Coolers, to even a doughnut float! You won’t want to miss out on this!!

When I was little, I always loved the end of summer. Mom and I would head to the mall to pick out new clothes, kicks, and school supplies for the upcoming school year. (Some things never change! I am totally in love with my new purple glitter Vans I got a few weeks ago! Thanks Mom!) Summer was also our last chance to have our friends over for a sleepover or go to the pool. And nothing made a hot Florida summer day better than a cold sweet treat.

Today, I am still picking out new clothes and heading to the pool at the end of summer vacation, but it is the cold summer treats that really make my day! I had recently picked up a few pounds of peaches and was inspired (thanks to my new Milkshake Bar cookbook) to make this spicy peach milkshake.

I began by taking 4 peaches, peeled and diced, and placed them in a small 4 quart pot. I then added a 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and 3 tablespoons of water. With the burner on low, I let the peach mixture simmer for 30 minutes. Finally, I let it cool to room temperature.

The ice cream base comes from my father-in-law’s top secret, super-easy, lightning fast, vanilla ice cream recipe. Unfortunately, this is all I can show you about the recipe without being in jeopardy of a major copyright infringement lawsuit…Ha!

Honestly, you can use any vanilla ice cream base recipe you want and whip it up in your ice cream maker in less than 30 minutes!

Once at desired consistency, add 4-6 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the blender, along with your cooled peach mixture, a little milk,  and blend. I saved a few spoonfuls of the peach mixture to place on top for decoration.

Now onto the giveaway…
