Happy Friday everyone! How was your week? It’s time for another Fandom Foodies recipe! What’s Fandom Foodies? It’s a fun monthly collaboration where a group of fellow nerdy bloggers all get together and create a recipe based off of a favorite piece of pop culture. (BTW, I’m hosting Fandom Foodies next month and the theme is Game of Thrones!!). This month’s theme is Star Wars, hosted by My Main is a Cook, and I couldn’t be more excited. Star Wars was my very first fandom and it still holds a special place in my heart. A ton of other Fandom Foodies have already posted their Star Wars-inspired recipes; go check them out in that link-up. They are fantastic! I have a couple of Star Wars party perfect treats on the site, my BB-8 Cupcakes and Poe’s Jacket Cookies, and I love, love, love those recipes, but they are both Work. I thought that for Fandom Foodies, I’d post something a little simpler, maybe something with just four ingredients, something like Frosty Bantha Milk!
Bantha milk/Blue Milk shows up a couple times in the Star Wars films, most recently in the background of one of the opening scenes of Rogue One. Canonically, bantha milk comes straight from giant yak-looking creatures, but the recipe for my bantha milk is a little more appetizing. It’s a sweet milk shake mixture of vanilla ice cream, milk, blue drink mix-in like Hawaiian Punch or Kool Aid, and a couple drops of blue food coloring, and it’s preeeeety great.
I highly recommend these for summer movie watching parties, because they are FUN, tasty, and so easy. You just blend all the ingredients together, pour into a glass, top with a scoop of ice cream, and easy peasy frosty Star Wars drink. The texture of the shakes is very creamy and a little thinner than a traditional shake so it’s not overwhelmingly rich, with a slightly fruity tropical vanilla flavor. They are definitely kid-friendly and great for Star Wars birthday parties, but if your party has nerds of the more adult kind, a little splash of something stronger in the mix is not a bad addition. 😉
