speckled, spotted, & flecked @ home

recipe @ home | choco creme cookie milkshake | six ingredients

one of my favorite love stories in the bible is the story of jacob and his love for rachel. he waited so long for her. he worked so hard for her.

i was in love with a human once. because i loved him, i paid attention to everything he said and did — with a conscious focus. he ordered an oreo milkshake one day.

combining authentic love in this generation with love of times past, it was time to make a vegan oreo milkshake. i call it speckled, spotted, and flecked in remembrance of jacob’s love for rachel and his willingness and eagerness to pay the price for her.

bonus tips:

• keep the ice cream machine bowl in the freezer at all times. it will always be ready and waiting for you to make a batch of ice cream.

• a gallon ziploc bag can be used in lieu of a pastry bag. it is cheaper and disposable.
