Peanut butter & chocolate "milkshake"
 
I had a real sweet craving over the weekend and went searching through my fridge/cupboards to make something. Here is what I came up with:

1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cup full-fat milk
1 tablespoon peanut butter (I used crunchy)
1 tablespoon davinci's chocolate SF syrup

I "wizzed" them all together in the blender and it made a wonderful frothy milkshake. These are just rough measurements...I only used a bit of milk to "thin" the mixture out, but it would work just as well without.

YUM :yum:

right on, i was about to post a similar recipe, as i just finished an amazing milkshake. was really hankering something sweet and threw a couple of ingredients together, hoping it would work. DID IT EVER. Mine is a bit modified, hope you don't mind i post here.

About 3/4 cup of coconut milk (approx 6 grams carbs)
(fill out empty can of coconut milk with about half water and pour into blender if you don't want to waste milky remnants)
about 4-6 tbspns of sugar free chocolate syrup (approx 8-12 carbs)
big spoonfull of PB (4 grams)
lots of ice and a bit more water if its too thick.
Splenda to taste (about one tbsp for me)

and blend.

Makes a really big, delicious shake for about 20 carbs. I actually freaked out for a second cause i thought i'd made a mistake and was drinking a regular shake. Thick and delicious. And lots of good coconut fat. MMMMMMmmmmmmm. Tastes like a freaking peanut butter cup. Am amazed.

I've made similar shakes, but I like to add a couple teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. SF chocolate syrup just tastes "fake" to me and does not satisfy a real chocolate urge, but the cocoa powder sure does. Then a little liquid sugar twin or EZSweet or FiberFit to sweeten it.
