Gluten Free Peanut Butter Coconut Milkshake

The Peanut Butter Bash is a monthly dessert challenge which uses peanut butter and a “mystery” ingredient.  Each month the “mystery ingredient” changes.  (Yes, group members are told about the ingredient in advance.)

June’s challenge:  The special mystery ingredient is coconut!

Note:  This blog post contains affiliate links.  For more information, please see my Disclaimers.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Since June’s Peanut Butter Bash special ingredient is coconut, I was wondering what to do for this month’s post.  I did not immediately think of this milkshake or any other yummy item to make.  I asked fellow PB Bash bloggers what they were doing and got some ideas.

I decided to make a milkshake.  It has been warm here lately so a milkshake sounded great.  I still was unsure of the ratio for peanut butter to coconut.  I did not want it too strong of either coconut or peanut butter.  I wanted a nice blend of both ingredients.

While shopping the other night, I came across the So Delicious Coconut Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream.  This ice cream is made with coconut milk instead of cow’s milk.  It is dairy free, soy free, gluten free, and Kosher Parve.  If you are allergic to peanuts or coconut, please find a suitable substitute for this recipe.

So Delicious Coconut Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl for Gluten Free Peanut Butter Coconut Milkshake

This particular Gluten Free Peanut Butter Coconut Milkshake can be made with or without dairy.  It depends upon the type of milk you use.

I did use cow’s milk to do this milkshake.  You can also use coconut milk, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, or hemp milk.  Use what you are able to consume.  If you can have multiple kinds of milk, make several to see which tastes best.

Blender or milkshake machine?

Growing up, my mother used her Hamilton Beach DrinkMaster Drink Mixer to make milkshakes.  This is the “home” version of the large commercial ones found in restaurants.  Below is a picture of mine, which almost looks like the one my mother has at her place.  The “milkshake machine” as we called it growing up now comes in chrome or black as well as the white.

I have used a blender for milkshakes.  I have found I still prefer to use my “milkshake machine.”  Perhaps as it reminds me of getting milkshakes (“real’ milkshakes made with hard ice cream) at restaurants.  I love the metal container with the rest of my shake, just waiting for me to pour into my glass.

Gluten Free Brownies with PB Bacon Drizzle

Gluten Free Brownies with PB Bacon Drizzle

Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  Please see my Disclaimers for more details.

These Gluten Free Brownies with PB Bacon Drizzle turned out better than my husband expected.  While bacon with chocolate – or bacon with peanut butter – still sound “off” to me, I am noticing a trend with adding bacon to everything (or so it seems) on the cooking shows I have been watching.

Why peanut butter, chocolate, and bacon?

I am a member of Peanut Butter Bash where we combine peanut butter and a special ingredient each month.  Follow us with #peanutbutterbash.  If you are a foodie blogger, join our Facebook group at Peanut Butter Bash.

To use a mix or bake “from scratch”

Normally, I make my brownies from freshly milled gluten free flours.  Not this time.  I wanted to work on my PB Bacon Drizzle.  So I used Krusetaz’ Gluten Free Double Chocolate Brownie Mix to give me a few extra minutes.

Making brownies

Earlier, my husband baked the bacon on the broiler pan.  Be sure the bacon is crisp enough to break without being too crisp.

After mixing up the brownie mix and getting it into the oven, I grabbed the peanut butter, dark chocolate baking chips, and the bacon to make my drizzle.

I allowed the brownies to cool completely before cutting.  Due to the chocolate chips in the brownie mix, the brownies are rich.  The PB Bacon Drizzle helps offset the richness with a richness of its own.

Gluten Free Chocolate PB Pudding Graham Cracker Pie

Gluten Free Chocolate PB Pudding Graham Cracker Pie – Quick to make, yummy to eat!

April’s Peanut Butter Bash special ingredient is Graham crackers.  I thought about making a Graham cracker pie crust.

I love how Graham crackers and Graham cracker pie crusts can be found Gluten Free! 

I do make my own Graham cracker crust using Gluten Free Graham crackers and butter. For this recipe I used a Mi-Del Gluten Free Graham Style Pie Crust.  It is a crust ready to fill with my chocolate pudding.

The question became what to put in the graham cracker crust.  My answer was chocolate.   I could make chocolate pudding pie.

Oh, yes, I am making a chocolate pudding pie.  With a family of six, my chocolate pudding pie serves all of us once (and, hopefully, my husband and I the next day).

Chocolate, Graham cracker crust, and add in some peanut butter

I also needed to tie in peanut butter as this was for the Peanut Butter Bash.  Chocolate goes with peanut butter.

Gluten Free PB&J Tacos

Gluten Free PB&J Tacos are a family favorite

My now-15 year old was the creator of this now family favorite.  I believe he was around four years old when he asked my husband to make them for him one day for lunch.

March’s challenge:  The special mystery ingredient is jam or jelly!

For my contribution to March’s Peanut Butter Bash I have decided to share our family’s PB&J Tacos.

Here is the recipe for this quick dessert or snack.  While the focus for this month’s Peanut Butter Bash is jam or jelly, you can add other yummy ingredients instead or in addition to the PB&J.  Pictured above the bottom two tacos are filled with PB and raspberry jam. The one on top of them is PB with Gluten Free (and artificial food color free) marshmallow creme.  The one on top has PB and Nutella.

February’s challenge:  Nutella is the Special Mystery Ingredient!

I was having difficulty figuring out what to make with peanut butter and Nutella.  When considering which recipe initially to use with Nutella, none of them felt like they would have worked using Nutella as a substitute ingredient easily.

What to make for the challenge?

For my contribution to February’s Peanut Butter Bash, I made a recipe that I found on Noshing with the Nolands.  This recipe for Nutella Clusters looked yummy.  Reading the ingredients I knew that I could make this gluten free.  I liked that these are No Bake Cookies.

When these Gluten-Free No Bake Peanut Butter Nutella Clusters were done chilling, I had to remember to pull some aside for a quick photo.

Why?  The six of us liked them.  We liked them a lot.  They were so good I was afraid the entire cookie sheet of them would be gone before I could get a pic.

My two little boys (almost three and four) loved being able to grab them off of the cookie sheet.  The two-year-old began handing out the cookies to the rest of us.  It was cute.  We ate them faster than I anticipated.

I am glad that I doubled the recipe so that we had a full cookie sheet to eat.  I know that I will be making these again.

Just three ingredients for these Gluten-Free No Bake Peanut Butter Nutella clusters!

For ingredients, I used Nutella, Nestle Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Morsels, and Gluten Free Cafe Maple Buckwheat Flakes.  There are plenty of options for the baking morsels (flavors and brands) as well as the cereal flakes (corn or buckwheat, for example).

Be sure to check the labels to make sure the products are gluten free if not clearly stated on the front of the item.  The baking chips may also contain barley (which is a gluten-containing ingredient).  If you are avoiding artificial food colors, these Nestle baking morsels are free of them.  (My boys do not eat the artificial food colors so that is something I check for on each label.)

I measured the ingredients by weight.  I gave both standard and metric amounts for each ingredient.  The blog post I found this recipe on gave both sets of measurements as well.  I began weighing my food (especially the gluten free flours) in 2012.

So, whether you prefer to weigh your food or are used to the metric measurements, both are available for you.
