BLACKBERRY SHAKES (BOBBY FLAY)



Blackberry Shakes (Bobby Flay) image

I first saw this prepared on Bobby Flay's Grill It! Show a few years ago. And I recently stumbled across the copy of the recipe that I printed immediately after watching that episode. In warmer weather when you're cooking outdoors more often, you can do as Bobby Flay did and put the sugared blackberries in a metal bowl and heat them right on your outdoor grill.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     beverage

Time 3h25m

Yield s: One 16-ounce milkshake or two 8-ounce milkshakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound fresh strawberries
3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup granulated sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
3 tablespoons strawberry jam
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup whole milk
10 ounces premium vanilla ice cream
Fresh whole strawberry, for garnish, optional
1/2 Sugar Biscuit, crumbled, for topping, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 4 tablespoons, melted
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Heavy cream, for brushing
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the strawberry base: Put the strawberries in a bowl, add the sugar and gently stir to combine. Let the berries sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, until they start to soften and release their juices.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium nonreactive saucepan, add the jam and cook over medium-high heat until slightly softened. Coarsely mash the berries using a potato masher or the back of a fork and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold and thickened further, at least 2 hours.
  • For the milkshake: Combine the milk and 1/2 cup strawberry base in the blender and blend for 5 seconds. Add the ice cream and blend until smooth, about 10 seconds. Top with more strawberry base, the Sugar Biscuit and a strawberry for garnish, if using.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a dough cutter, combine until the ingredients are incorporated. Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top of the flour mixture and continue to combine until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and mix just until the dough begins to come together.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out the biscuits. Press together the scraps of dough and repeat the process. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake the biscuits until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. Yield: 8 biscuits.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces dark chocolate pastilles, such as Valrhona Manjari
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
12 ounces heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
Blackberry Sauce, recipe follows
Grated dark chocolate, for garnish
Whipped cream, optional, for serving
1 pint fresh blackberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons blackberry liqueur

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the espresso powder and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
  • Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks in a large bowl, then let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whip the egg whites in a separate large bowl until they hold soft peaks. Set aside.
  • Take a large spoonful of the egg whites and mix into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold the remaining egg whites in. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks appear. Divide among glasses or bowls. Top with Blackberry Sauce, grated chocolate and whipped cream, if using.
  • Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the berries soften and break down, about 10 minutes. Mash the berries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add the liqueur and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Let cool slightly before using.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest shake, use frozen blackberries. If using fresh blackberries, freeze them for at least 2 hours before using.
  • To make a thicker shake, add more ice cream or frozen yogurt.
  • For a sweeter shake, add more sugar or honey.
  • For a tangier shake, add a squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice.
  • For a more complex flavor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • Garnish the shake with whipped cream, a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg, or a fresh blackberry.
