for the milkshake base:
- 1 ½ cups vanilla custard or ice cream
-
⅓–½ cup milk (adjust for thickness)
-
2 tbsp Pistakio Creamy Pistachio Spread + extra for topping

for the chocolate cup:
-
1 (16 oz) plastic cup

instructions:
-
start by making the chocolate cup: melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. let cool slightly, then pour into the plastic cup. turn and tilt until the inside is fully coated. freeze until hardened.
-
toast the kataifi: in a small pan over medium heat, melt butter and toast the kataifi until golden and crispy. set aside.
-
make the milkshake: in a blender, combine ice cream, milk, Pistakio paste, matcha, and 2 tbsp of the toasted kataifi. blend until smooth.
-
pour the milkshake into the hardened chocolate cup. top with remaining kataifi, crushed pistachios, and a drizzle of Pistakio spread.
