Description

In case of zombie infection, it’s best to make your own zombie brain freeze to stop the spread until you can make it back to base to get the antidote. This vanilla milkshake with strawberry jam and a light matcha whip is sure to stave off disaster. –Zander Brain M2M Agent  ­­

Ingredients
    Strawberry “Blood” Puree:
  • 1/2 cup Strawberries
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1-2 drop Red Food Coloring (Optional)
  • Whip Cream Topping:
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon Matcha
  • 1-2 drop Green Food Coloring (Optional)
  • Vanilla Milkshake
  • 1/2 Vanilla Bean Pod (or 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder)
  • 1 1/2 cup Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 1/2-3/4 cup Milk (Depending on how thick you want it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
    Prepare Strawberry "Blood" Jam
  1. Wash and remove leaves from strawberries. Place the strawberries in a blender and blend until a smooth puree forms.
    If you would like a chunkier texture for added spooky-ness you can leave a few chunks of strawberry for added “brain matter”.
  2. In a small pot over medium heat add the strawberry puree and sugar. Cook until the strawberry syrup begins to thicken about 15-20 minutes. It should be just thick enough to stick to the insides of a cup. Set aside and let cool.

    If you want a more vibrant red color, you can add 1-2 drops of red food coloring.
  3. Prepare Whip Cream Topping
  4. In a stand mixer place cream and matcha and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside. 

    If you don’t have matcha or want a more vivid green color instead of the light green provided by the matcha, you can add 1-2 drops of green food coloring.  
  5. Prepare Milkshake
  6. Cut half of a vanilla bean pod and scrape the seeds out (or use the vanilla bean powder). Place in a blender along with the ice cream, milk, and additional vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. 

  7. Assemble
  8. In a tall glass, use a spoon to place the strawberry jam down the inside of the glass rotating the glass. It should look like veins of blood in the zombie brain. Coat the rim of the glass as well. Pour the milkshake in the glass and top with the whip cream.

    Enjoy.
