Vanilla Bean Milkshake and Oreo Milkshake

On my last visit to near by (the only) super bazar, I bought family pack of vanilla ice cream….which has come at an offer where you buy one and you get one free. So ended up with two half litre packs…We relished one with warm gulab jamuns and with the other half litre pack I made milkshakes….Though I had idea of making only vanilla bean milkshake….I ended up with Oreo Milkshake for Lil’M.

Suma bought me two Vanilla beans when we last had pot-luck in Bangalore. I dropped these vanilla beans into a jar of sugar to make use of that sugar in making cake and French toast. Though I had the idea of making vanilla panna cotta with vanilla bean, I had to drop it as I could not find halal gelatine or even agar agar at my place….So though of making very simple and indulging milkshake using it.

As and when lil’M was back from school and when I gave her this chocolate color Oreo milkshake, she was very happy and planted a kiss on my cheek. Happy Mamma again….
