Recipe
Santa’s belt or Snowman’s buttons:
4 tablespoons chocolate chips (we used semi-sweet, but you could use bittersweet or milk chocolate)
Milkshake:
2 cups vanilla ice cream (our favorite brand is President’s Choice Vanilla)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Raspberries or strawberries for Santa
Whipped Cream (homemade is our favorite, but we used chocolate whipped cream from a can for this version)
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Red food coloring for Santa
For the belt or buttons: Melt the chocolate either in a double-boiler or in the microwave. With a toothpick or paintbrush, paint a ghost face on the inside of a clear glass. Put the glass in the freezer while you make the milkshake and whipped cream.
For the milkshake: In a blender, combine ice cream, milk and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
For the whipped cream: Whip cream until almost stiff. Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat until cream holds peaks. Put into a piping bag. (I have a Whipped Cream Dispenser which makes making and piping whipped cream easy.
Take the glass out of the freezer. Fill with the milkshake. Top with the whipped cream. Serve with a spoon and a straw.
