Strawberry Waffle Milkshake. This has been added to my weekend of dog sitting,  primarily because I was introduced to the waffle maker at the bosses house and I’m excited at the prospect of making Belgium waffles.

• 2 waffles (I used Eggo Buttermilk)
• 2 Tbsp strawberry preserves (or ¼ cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries)
• ½ cup half & half or milk
• 1 cup ice cream
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp honey
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Whipped cream
• 1 Tbsp toasted chopped walnuts or pecans

PREPARATION:

Toast the waffles until they are crisp and lightly browned (you want to bring out the maximum waffle flavor.) Pulverize them in a food processor as fine as you can get them.

Add the next six ingredients (strawberry thru vanilla) in the food processor – or transfer to a blender if you prefer – and process until thoroughly combined.

Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with walnuts. For an extra decadent touch, ‘wet’ the walnuts with a little maple syrup first.

Enjoy!
