    The heat has been creating all kinds of problems in the PNW, mainly trapping the smoke from the wildfires up north, which adds to the breathing issues. I think the oven has stayed off for about 4 weeks now which is a record. 

    No cookies or cakes means they get needed in alternate forms. Cookie Dough Blizzards or this Black Forest Shake. 

    Chocolate ice cream, frozen non dairy milk and some cherries blended in to make the chocolate cherry layer. Vanilla ice cream blended in for the creamy vanilla layer. Add some cherry compote between the 2 and boom!

    The shake can be easily made into smoothie or protein shake for breakfast with frozen banana instead of ice cream, some protein powder and seasonal fruits frozen. Easy and Amazing! Whats your favorite Summer Dessert?

    Ingredients

    Cherry Compote

    • 1 cup (4.87 oz) cherries
    • 2 tsp lime juice
    • 2 tbsp water
    • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener
    • a good pinch of salt
    • a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract

    Vanilla layer:

    • 1/2 cup (125 g) (heaping) coconut milk ice cubes
    • 1/2 cup (113 g) vanilla ice cream or more coconut milk cubes
    • 1 tbsp of sugar or sweetener (optional)
    • a drop of vanilla extract

    • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
    • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional)
    • 2 tbsp cherry compote from above

    Instructions

    • Make the compote: Cook the ingredients in a skillet over medium heat until the cherries soften and the liquid thickens slightly. Cool for few minutes. 
    • Blend the vanilla shake ingredients until smooth. Add a tbsp or so non dairy milk to help the blender if needed. Taste and adjust sweet. Scoop the mixture into 2 glasses.
    • In the same blender, Blend the chocolate layer + 2 tbsp of the cherry compote until smooth. Add some non dairy milk if needed. Taste and adjust sweet and blend in.
    • Spoon some of the cherry compote over the vanilla layer, reserve a few cherries for topping. Then pour or scoop the chocolate layer in the glass. Top with the remaining cherries and liquid if any. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    Variation: Replace some of the ice cream or milk cubes with frozen banana for a lower fat option. Use dates to sweeten.

        Thanks. They are highly dependent on what you use. The ice ream values are so varied depending on the brand. Coconut milk or cashews, sugar or sugar free version etc.
