Fluffernutter Milkshake
Last month, Jess and we met for lunch at our absolute favorite spot in Pittsburgh for burgers and milkshakes [Burgatory]. You can customize your own burger creations and we typically end up with a ridiculously large bison burger topped with bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, fried onion straws, and the house “special sauce”. We also can’t have a meal there without the sea salt and herb fries (a burger without fries is like sacrilege to us). This all leaves virtually no room for dessert, which is why the last two times that we've gone there, we've gotten a milkshake to go so we can sip it on the way home as our dessert.
On this particular day, the waitress rattled off some absolutely memorable milkshakes, including a spiked Rice Krispies treat milkshake (which Jess recreated) and a Fluffer Nutter Butter shake, which we knew immediately we had to have. As soon as we got home, we couldn’t wait to make our own version.
The version that we had simply churned together ice cream, marshmallow fluff and Nutter Butter cookies, and while it was good, we wanted less cookie crumbs and more peanut butter punch. We love thick milkshakes, so we went heavy on the ice cream and light on the milk, but you can certainly adjust those quantities to suit your taste. A lot of peanut butter and marshmallow creme, along with a few cookies, made for one absolutely memorable milkshake.
So memorable, in fact, that before our Chief Culinary Consultant’s birthday a couple of weeks ago when we asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he said he just wanted us to make more of the milkshakes. We insisted on a cake (which we're sharing tomorrow!), but we also made these milkshakes multiple times because we just couldn’t get enough!
This past trip to Burgatory has totally inspired us to start making more milkshakes.
We're going to need more straws!
