Chikoo Shake

Ingredients:

1 cup milk

ice cubes

2 medium sized chikoo

pinch of drinking chocolate/coffee

sugar as per taste

Method:

• Peel the chikoo, deseed and chop it
• In a blender add chopped chikoo and blend till the chikoo is pureed. Add milk, ice cubes, sugar and a pinch of drinking chocolate/coffee and blend it for a minute.
• Transfer in a serving glass and serve chilled!!

Tips:

• I feel a dash of drinking chocolate /coffee gives the chickoo shake a fantastic taste, however you can avoid it.
• If you want to give an Indian taste you can add cardamom powder.
• Sugar would be as per the sweetness of the chikoo. Castor sugar/ powdered sugar is best as it dissolves faster.
• You can retain the peel of the chikoo.
• You can top the chikoo shake with whipped cream or ice-cream. Chocolate flavoured ice-cream really taste well with chickoo shake.
