Toasted Oatmeal and Brown Sugar Milkshake

"Literally the best milkshake ever, homemade or otherwise. Ridiculously decadent (but so worth it), this is a take on the Latin American Avena drink. From the book Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes by Adam Reid. Please be sure to use good-quality oats, not the instant or cheap-o processed kind."

directions

  • FOR THE OATS:

  • Melt the butter in a small nonstick saucepan over medium heat until it stops foaming.
  • Add the oats and cook, stirring constantly, until medium golden brown and fragrant, about 6 minutes.
  • Standing back because the mixture will spit and sputter, add ²⁄³ cup milk, the water, and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are very soft and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 18 minutes.
  • Off the heat, cool the mixture to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • FOR THE SHAKE:

  • Place ½ cup (5 ounces) of the cooked oats, the remaining ½ cup (4 ounces) milk, the brown sugar, and cloves in a blender and blend until the oats are completely broken down and incorporated into the milk, about 1½ minutes.
  • Add the ice cream and pulse several times to begin breaking it up. With the blender motor off, use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blades.
  • Continue pulsing, stopping and mashing until the mixture is well blended, thick, and moves easily in the blender jar, roughly 30 to 90 seconds.
  • Pour into a chilled glass or glasses, and serve at once.
