Memories of Katz's

Posted by Kathryn @ 2:59 PM

As a Texan, I have been to Katz's Deli in Austin. It is most famous for the fact that it is open 24 hours. This is an important thing in a college town like Austin. I cannot claim Austin as my college town, but I can claim that I love the cheesecake milkshake at Katz's. So when the cheesecake fiasco occurred, I did what every resourceful cook would do... reuse the ingredients in a new way. Many thoughts passed through my head including a cheesecake sauce for fresh berries, but what stuck was the cheesecake shake. Now milkshakes don't have precise recipes, but the jist is this:

1 part cheesecake (no crust)
1 part vanilla icecream
1/2 part milk (add slowly)
splash of vanilla.

Blend the heck out of this ( If you make a lot, it can make your blender complain)

Serve in shake glasses with whipped cream and crushed graham cracker topping. Sorry no pics available... they were devoured in seconds.
