Earlier in the week, I had cut up an entire pineapple and knew I wanted to use it somehow in a recipe. After poking around a bit in the fridge and freezer, I realized I had all the "fixins" for a milkshake!! Lauren left early this morning for a week long vacation and the hubby was out running errands, so it was just Dominic and I here. Dominic had never ate pineapple before and when I first offered him a chunk, he tossed it back into the bowl. After a few minutes, he came back into the kitchen and said, "pineapple." I tried again to give him another chunk and this time he ate it!! I knew I wanted to also put some raspberries into the milkshake because Dominic has never eaten a raw one. After a little blender action, I had a "sample" ready to go. I handed the glass to my boy and he drained it dry within a few minutes. I put what was left of the milkshake into a zippered top bag and tossed it into the freezer. I want the hubby and Lauren to be able to have some too!
2 cups fresh pineapple, chunks
6-ounce container raspberries
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup white milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups ice cubes
Put all ingredients into a blender and combine until desired consistency. Makes five cups. If you want to freeze any of the leftover milkshake, just pour into a zippered top gallon size plastic bag and tuck into the freezer for at least one hour. The milkshake is super duper tasty frozen too (take my word for it)!!
