Ingredients

0.5 cup of chilled or partially frozen soy milk or nutritional supplement

2 tbsp of milk-free butterscotch sauce

How to prepare

Variations

Chocolate: Use 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup instead of butterscotch. (Commercial chocolate syrups are often made without milk or lactose; always read the ingredient labels).
Butterscotch-Banana: Add 0.5 well-ripened, sliced banana to the ingredients for the butterscotch shake.
Peanut Butter-Honey: Omit the butterscotch sauce. Mix together in a cup: 0.25 cup of soy milk or nondairy creamer, 2 tbsp of smooth peanut butter, 1 tbsp of honey, and 0.25 tsp of vanilla. Place the partially frozen liquid in a blender, then add the peanut butter mixture. Blend for about 10 seconds or until smooth.
For a richer flavor, add a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream to the shake before blending. You can also top the shake with dairy-free whipped cream for an extra special treat.

Make imitation milkshakes for people who cannot drink milk or eat ice cream.

How did I get this recipe?

I remember the sense of wonder I felt when I first saw this recipe for Butterscotch Fake Shake. It was a hot summer day, and I was at a family picnic, surrounded by loved ones and the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. As I sat at the picnic table, sipping on a cold glass of lemonade, my dear friend Mary approached me with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"Have you ever tried a Butterscotch Fake Shake?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement.

I shook my head, intrigued by the name of the mysterious drink. Mary chuckled and reached into her bag, pulling out a tattered old recipe card. She handed it to me with a smile, urging me to give it a try.

The recipe was written in faded ink, the paper yellowed with age. It listed a few simple ingredients: butterscotch syrup, vanilla ice cream, and milk. It seemed almost too easy, but I was eager to see what all the fuss was about.

That evening, I gathered the ingredients and set to work in my kitchen, following the instructions on the recipe card. I poured the butterscotch syrup into my blender, added a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, and poured in some milk. I turned on the blender and watched as the ingredients swirled together, transforming into a creamy, butterscotch-colored concoction.

As I poured the mixture into a tall glass, I couldn't help but marvel at the smooth texture and rich aroma. I took a sip and was instantly transported to a world of sweet, buttery goodness. The flavor was unlike anything I had ever tasted before – a perfect balance of sweet and creamy, with a hint of nostalgia that made me feel like a child again.

From that moment on, the Butterscotch Fake Shake became a staple in my kitchen. I made it for family gatherings, picnics, and even just for myself on lazy Sunday afternoons. It never failed to bring a smile to my face and a sense of joy to those around me.

Over the years, I learned to add my own twist to the recipe, experimenting with different flavors and ingredients to create new variations of the beloved drink. Sometimes I would add a dash of cinnamon for a warm, spicy kick, or a sprinkle of sea salt for a touch of complexity. Each new iteration brought fresh excitement and delight, keeping the Butterscotch Fake Shake alive and evolving in my kitchen.

As I grew older, I passed the recipe on to my children and grandchildren, sharing the joy and wonder of that first taste with each new generation. I taught them the simple steps, encouraged them to get creative, and watched with pride as they put their own spin on the classic drink.

Now, as I sit in my cozy kitchen, surrounded by the laughter of my loved ones and the aroma of butterscotch drifting through the air, I can't help but feel grateful for that fateful day at the picnic. That day when Mary introduced me to the Butterscotch Fake Shake, sparking a love affair that would last a lifetime.

And as I take another sip of the sweet, creamy concoction, I am reminded of the power of a simple recipe to bring joy, memories, and a sense of wonder to all who taste it. The Butterscotch Fake Shake may be just a drink, but to me, it is a symbol of love, tradition, and the magic of cooking.
