Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped baklava (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream
  • Drizzle of honey
  • Additional chopped pistachios
  • Small pieces of baklava

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until well combined and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps of cream cheese left; if there are, blend longer.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon to the blender. Blend again for another 20-30 seconds. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thick; feel free to taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  3. Now add 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios and 1/4 cup of finely chopped baklava to the blender. Pulse the blender 3-4 times just to incorporate the nuts and baklava without completely breaking them down. You want some texture in your milkshake!
  4. Next, prepare the Nutty Crumble. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are crumbly and well combined, ensuring there are no dry spots.
  5. Spread the Nutty Crumble mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even browning. The crumble should be golden and fragrant — keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
  6. Once the crumble is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your serving glasses by drizzling some honey inside them for added sweetness and an appealing look.
  7. Pour the milkshake mixture evenly into the prepared glasses. Top generously with whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of additional chopped pistachios and small pieces of baklava. The presentation should be inviting and colorful!
  8. Lastly, sprinkle the Nutty Crumble on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon to enjoy this indulgent treat while it's fresh.
