Imagine a milkshake that not only tastes like a churro, but is also served with one. Say hello to Encontro's most popular shake.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, plus additional for sprinkling
1 tsp. warm caramel syrup
Whipped cream, to taste
1 warm churro

Directions

Blend ice cream, milk, vanilla extract, sugar and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon in a blender until smooth. With a spoon or plastic squeeze bottle, drizzle caramel syrup in an abstract pattern on the inside of a chilled glass. Pour shake into glass. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, and garnish with a half or whole churro. Serve immediately.
