What is Stracciatella Ice Cream?
Stracciatella is a milk-based ice cream filled with fine, irregular shavings of chocolate.
Makers produce the effect by drizzling melted chocolate into plain milk ice cream towards the end of the churning process; the chocolate solidifies immediately coming in contact with the cold ice cream and is then broken up and incorporated into the ice cream with a spatula. This process creates shreds of chocolate that give Stracciatella its name. (Stracciatella in Italian means 'little shred'.) While Stracciatella ice cream traditionally involves milk, ice cream, and milk chocolate, modern variations can also be made with vanilla and dark chocolate. (Source: Wikipedia)
Stracciatella is also a very trendy ice cream in Austria, and I have been a fan of it since childhood.

🔪 Instructions
How to prepare this delicious milkshake?
Add milk, Egg Liqueur, and Stracciatella ice cream into a mixing bowl. You can easily make this with a blender if you don't have a hand mixer at hand.
Mix the ice cream,
Now take a separate mixing bowl and whip up the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fill the whipped cream into a pastry bag with a star-shaped nozzle and set it aside.
Stir the milkshake again and fill the glasses with your delicious milkshake. Pipe the whipped cream on top.
Now decorate your delicious milkshake with cinnamon. I didn't even need half a teaspoon of cinnamon for this. Dust the shake with the cinnamon using a small sieve. And your Christmas dessert is ready to be served.
The egg liqueur adds a very subtle, flavorful note and can also be used as a topping instead of cinnamon if desired.
Despite my love for
This shake pairs very well with homemade cookies to make it even more festive for your guests.
