Black Tap-Inspired Milkshakes To Take You From Summer To Fall
Andrea Ament

Summer has almost met its end, and while the temperatures may begin their decline- there is time yet for ice-cream to be had. If you're like me, that time is actually year-round, but still, you can't beat the cold allure of summer desserts mixed with the flavors of coming fall! These decadently-accented, generous-topped frozen treats are inspired by the ones available at NYC's Black Tap restaurant, which you may recall from photos dominating Instagram feeds, #foodporn hashtags, and news outlets alike with their monstrous milkshakes and even more monstrous lines curling around the building of people just wanting a sip (and snap) of their own. With these recipes, you can skip the line and do it from the comfort of sweatpants and the sounds of Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban playing in the background.

S'Mores

Yield: 2 glasses

Need:

2 cups vanilla or chocolate chip ice-cream

1 cup milk

Marshmallow fluff

Nutella

3/4 cup of toasted marshmallows

Hot fudge syrup

Graham crackers (crushed, and whole)

Chocolate squares

Whipped cream


Start by drizzling chocolate syrup up and down the inner circumference of a see-through glass, and pop in the freezer a short while before serving to set the design. Combine ice-cream, milk, and as many graham cracker crumbs as you desire in a blender and blend until smooth. Spread Nutella around the rim of the glass, and roll in graham cracker crumbs to coat. Pour in your milkshake, and top with a dollop of marshmallow fluff. Go crazy decorating as little or as much (preferably as much) as you want, with marshmallows, chocolate pieces, additional chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and a big graham cracker square plunked on top. Play around with different layerings of designs!

Pumpkin Spice

Yield: 2 glasses

Need:

2 cups vanilla ice-cream

1 cup milk

1/4 cup of strong coffee, chilled

1/4 cup of pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Graham cracker crumbs

Whipped topping

Cinnamon

Caramel sauce

Start by drizzling caramel around the inner circumference of the glass like before. Pop in the freezer to set. Combine ice-cream, milk, pumpkin pie spice, coffee, and puree in a blender and blend until smooth. Top up your glass with PSL wonderfulness, and garnish to your heart's content with whipped topping, graham cracker crumbs, more caramel, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even crushed pretzel pieces for a salty bite. Dare: top with an entire slice of golden, flaky pumpkin pie, in true Black Tap fashion.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
