Baskin-Robbins B.R. Blast

by Todd Wilbur

 

 

Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins' idea to franchise their ice cream stores

for rapid growth was so inspired that the company's former milk shake

machine salesman, Ray Kroc, adopted the technique to successfully expand his

new chain of McDonald's hamburger outlets.

Ice cream is this chain's staple. So this coffee drink, unlike the

Frappuccino made famous by Starbucks, requires adding ice cream for a creamy

texture and rich taste. If you've got a blender you can clone either of the

two varieties of this refreshing coffee beverage. For chocoholics bent on

everything mocha, just add some chocolate syrup to the mix.

 

Cappuccino

1 cup double-strength coffee (see Tidbits)

1 cup milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 heaping cup vanilla ice cream

2 cups crushed ice or ice cubes

 

Garnish

whipped cream

cinnamon

 

1. Combine the strong coffee, milk and sugar in a blender and mix on medium

speed for 15 seconds to dissolve sugar.

2. Add ice cream and ice then blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour drink into two 16-ounce glasses. If desired, add whipped cream to

the top of each drink followed by a sprinkle of cinnamon.
