Chocolate Silkshakes

One of E's (my lactose intolerant little sib) and my favorite (and easiest) desserts since our venture into the dairy free world is Silkshakes. Smooth, creamy, and chocolatey, these are almost as good as the real thing, and in some ways better. For the Chocolate variety (our favorite) you will need:

*Chocolate Silk soymilk-or your favorite brand of chocolate soymilk (about 2 cups for 2 servings)

*1.5 cups of Chocolate Soy Ice Cream (we like So(y) Delicious that comes in the quart container-cheaper to buy in larger quantities and more silkshakes!)

Blend in the blender until smooth. If desired add more Choc. Soymilk for a thinner shake. I have also made Mocha shakes with Mocha silk and Coffee soy ice cream. Yum! You can also toss in whatever fresh fruit is available (strawberries, peaches etc.). Another idea is to add some dairy free chocolate fudge or df caramel syrup to the top of the shake with a little non-dairy whipped cream (which you can find at many health food stores). Enjoy. :)
