Ingredients

For the Whipped Cream

½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon bourbon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Milkshake

2 cups vanilla ice cream
¾ cup milk whole is best but I've used 2% too and no one ever said no
2 ounces bourbon
½ teaspoon vanilla

To Finish the Milkshake

6 - 8 tablespoons Hot Fudge Sauce
Maraschino cherries
Cocoa Nibs or Sprinkles

Instructions

To Make the Whipped Cream (See Notes)

Whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, bourbon and vanilla until soft peaks form. Keep in refrigerator until ready to assemble.

For the Milkshake Mixture

Blend together the ice cream, milk, vanilla, and bourbon in a blender.

To Assemble

Pour a couple of Tbsp of the hot fudge sauce around the inside edge of glass; fill glass with the milkshake mixture and finish with a dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle with cocoa nibs or colored jimmies; add a cherry on the top and serve with a straw.

Notes

Do you have to make whipped cream from scratch? No...but I do love it so much more! The result is so much thicker and richer than the canned variety but yes, it can still be substituted.

I don't use Cool Whip; if I'm to use anything purchased, it's the cans of whipped cream that you buy at the store that are made with real cream and sugar but it is so loaded with air that it deflates quickly and loses all structure, becoming just cream, albeit not whipped! If you use it, keep the can handy so your family or friends can re-apply more as necessary!
