Leftover Chocolate Cake Shake

When you live in a two-person household, you always end with leftovers. Had this Leftover Mocha Cake and Eggless Vanilla Ice Cream (which I often make) in the freezer. So here is the invention of a cake cum shake.

An  American food/dessert, Chocolate Cake Shake. Today, am sharing my easy way to make this. This shake has  taste of both cake and milk  shake, is blends so well that you will love it.  Made this for my hubby, since he is  working from home since the lock down, wants a juice, smoothie or  any drink that will keep him cool in the scorching summer heat. 

Since I had just a big slice of cake could make only one serving, the next day he asked to make it again.. smiled and replied no cake so no shake.

If you want you can garnish this with a scoop of ice cream or frost it with whipped cream..makes it an extra treat. 

Ingredients  

2 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
1/3 Cup  Milk
1 Big Slice Leftover Cake

Method

First, combine the ice cream and milk in a blender.Next, add the chocolate cake. Blend until smooth.

Pour into a glass. If you like, garnish with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. No extra calories so minus the garnish.

Enjoy!!

Fig / Anjeer Milk Shake #FoodieExtravaganza

Dried Figs or Fresh Figs are very commonly available almost everywhere and this is widely consumed in India and other countries. Figs, whether fresh or dried, are rich in powerful antioxidants.The fig trees can live up to 100 years, that why many people in India touch their head to this tree , so that, they too will have long and healthy life. 

Figs have a unique taste and texture. They are sweet and chewy. The smoothness of the fruit and the crunchiness of its seeds make a beautiful combination to eat. Dried figs are available throughout the year whereas fresh figs are available in summer.

Here the weather is so hot and sticky, this drink is perfect to cool your body. I,  have not added any extra sugar for sweetness. Wanted the natural taste and sweetness of the Figs. This is a diabetic friendly drink. Can add a tablespoon or more of caster sugar according to your taste.
