Don’t be confused: This is not a child’s milkshake. This is a, ‘Dang, I am a grown-up and I know it’.
My friend Emily made this up and served it to me about 8 weeks ago to ‘help my throat’. I kept thinking of this drink for weeks and made my version last week for my friend ‘Sandra Lee‘.
But wait, it gets better: I froze some and ‘ate it’ before bed to soothe my throat.
I am a good doctor aren’t I? Yes, I am taking new patients.
Bananas Foster Milkshake (Yield = per person)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 banana
3 heaping tablespoons vanilla ice cream (or frozen yogurt)
A few dashes of cinnamon
A few splashes of rum
1 teaspoon caramel (I used Mrs. Robinson’s)
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a blender except the caramel and pulse the ice crush feature a few times. Then use the blend or puree function and allow the caramel to drizzle into the blender from the lid. You can also just add the caramel with the other ingredients but you may need to scrap it off the sides a few times and pulse again.
Oops, forgot the cherry on top….
Warning: drink more than one and things may start to get a bit blurry…..

I saw the recipe and made it the same evening. It is such a great balance of flavors with nothing too overwhelming, which I always find difficult when bananas are involved. I added a a little bit of vanilla extract to the mix and a shot of rum per serving. It was absolutely delicious, thank you for the recipe!

Im drooling here! I’ve been craving a mudslide for days this sounds sooo much better! And I can make it without the rum so I feel like less of a lush (because I couldn’t drink just one!)

Funny story is I used to work at a hotel in CO with a huge brunch and I’d make almost a thousand servings of bananas foster every Sunday. A live station, constantly making deliciously warm bananas. Now I am craving some as well, drink form please!
