Chikkoo Milk Shake

I am sure if you all start cleaning your freezers, you'll have some things to use up, some things to throw. I had some to use-up before it went bad. A bag of frozen Chikkoo. I had bought it some time back thinking I'll make some chikkoo ice cream. Never got around to it. I didn't have the patience to make ice cream this weekend. So, I made a chikkoo milk shake. It was perfect timing since I served this as evening snack for my kids. Got fruit, milk and what else can be more healthy for them?

Ingredients:

• Chikkoo/ Sapota - 12 Oz frozen pack (If using fresh, use about 4 - 5)
• Cold milk - 2 cups
• Sugar - 1/3 - 1/2 cup
• Flavoring - optional (you could use cardamom, vanilla or almond extract. I didn't use any)

Method:
If using frozen chikkoo, thaw for about 30 minutes. Place them in a blender and puree them. Add little bit of milk, sugar and blend further. Add the rest of the milk and blend. If using fresh chikkoo, remove the skin and seed and puree in a blender with milk, sugar. Refrigerate till serving. When ready to serve, mix well and pour into serving glasses and serve.

I took these pictures when they were just blended and poured into the glass. You can see the bubbles making spots on the surface. My kids loved them and so did I. Best part is this can be a meaningful breakfast too.

Srivalli couldn't have announced 'Thanda Mela' at a better time.  Needless to say, I am sending this as an entry to her event.
