"DFree/Shutterstock On the surface, an old fashioned milkshake may seem fairly basic, but you may be surprised to learn that original vanilla milkshake recipes were intended as alcoholic drinks. There are plenty of simple ways to boost your vanilla milkshake with clever ingredients and even some boozy additions. In a video posted to Food Network UK's Facebook page, celebrity chef Bobby Flay appeared on an episode of "Barefoot Contessa" to share his recipe for a delightful vanilla caramel bourbon milkshake."
"Flay prepares a "drunken" sauce with a combination of scratch-made caramel using sugar and water in one pot and a vanilla bean-infused cream in the other. After slowly combining the cream into the caramel and stirring constantly to let everything fully combine, Flay then adds a generous splash of bourbon into the mix. To this, he adds butter and vanilla extract "just to reinforce that vanilla flavor" before letting the sauce cool enough to add to the milkshake."
Vanilla milkshakes originated as alcoholic drinks and can be enhanced with boozy ingredients. Bobby Flay makes a bourbon vanilla caramel sauce by cooking sugar and water into caramel while infusing cream with vanilla bean, then slowly combining the cream into the caramel while stirring. Flay adds bourbon, butter, and vanilla extract, cools the sauce, and blends it with milk and generous scoops of vanilla ice cream until thick. The caramel decorates the glass and tops the shake, and the sauce also works as a topping for baked goods and other desserts.
