Franchise chain Jack In The Box is now featuring Bacon Milkshake on their menu. But if you expect to see it on their actual menu, think again! Word on the street is it's available in limited quantities at locations and is being treated as a "secret menu" item. How is bacon added to this shake? Allegedly, the shake includes bacon flavor syrup--not actual bacon.
Warning: This milkshake is not dieter friendly. A 16 oz shake contains 773 calories and 40 grams of fat.
If you don't live near a Jack In The Box or your local chain has run out, you can always get creative and test out a DIY recipe shared by the Huffington Post (via Adventures in Cooking).
Ingredients:
5 Slices Bacon
1 Cup Vanilla Ice Cream
1/4 Cup Milk
1 Heaping Tablespoon Dulce de Leche
1 Teaspoon Vegetable Oil or Butter
Directions:
1. Grease the surface of a large frying ban with the vegetable oil or butter and then place the pan over medium-high heat. Lay the bacon flat onto the surface of the pan and fry them, flipping every few minutes, until they are crispy but not charred. Remove them and set them aside to cool for 5 minutes.
2. Take 4 of the bacon slices and place them on a separate plate. Cut them into small pieces, about 1 to 1/2 inch around.
3. Place the ice cream, the milk, the dulce de leche, and the chopped bacon in a blender. Put the lid on the blender, and blend at high speed for about a minute, or until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
4. Pour the milkshake into a clear serving glass and garnish with the single slice of cooked bacon. Serve immediately.
