Phil's Birthday Malt Frappe

On Wednesday night we celebrated Phil's birthday, diner style! Every year I put together a little dinner and typically cook the usual chicken and pasta for Phil's birthday, but this year I wanted to do something different and thought it would be fun to cook up some diner classics including burgers, chili dogs, cheese fries and to wash it all down, a malt milkshake. None of it was healthy, but boy was it all good! It made me want to jump in my car and head up to the Maine Diner for some pie!

Here is my recipe for Phil's Birthday Malt Frappe.......

Makes 4 10oz glasses

1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 gallon of your favorite chocolate ice cream
1/4 cup malt powder
For the Whipped Cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

4 maraschino cherries with stems

Put four 10 0z glasses in the freezer to chill. In a bowl, place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla inside and using an electric mixer with a whip attachment whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Put in fridge until ready to use. In a blender combine frappe ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into each glass, top with a tablespoon of whipped cream and a cherry. Don't forget the straw and enjoy!! Happy Birthday Phil, cheers!
