cblj_backupTHIS IS AN AMAZING MILKSHAKE.
So, about a week ago I made some ice cream, or I suppose some frozen custard, because I made it with an egg base. The custard requires five egg yolks, and of course the problem is always "What do I do with the egg whites don't say meringues I don't own a stand mixer". (Yes, I know you can make them without a stand mixer, but it's way too much work.) Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foxxydancr piped up that she had a cake recipe that used egg whites, and I was all over that shit. This is some magnificent fucking cake, you guys.
But! It was a little on the dry side, so I soaked it in a lemon glaze, which kind of helped but not totally. And the ice cream was a little bland, because I forgot to add flavoring, and also homemade ice cream, once frozen, is not as easy to scoop or eat as commercial ice cream. At least, mine isn't.
So then I made a cake milkshake.
I put a slice of cake in the blender and turned it to crumb, then added a few scoops of ice cream which made a very pretty slurry, then added some milk and poured the whole thing into a cup and VOILA. THE MOST LABOR INTENSIVE MILKSHAKE IN THE COUNTRY.
Thus, in the end, the eggs were reunited.
I shoulda just made a really big omelette.
