Tsokolateng tablea (Filipino chocolate) milkshake

Hello! This site is moving to a new home. Click here to update your bookmarks. ~ Connie Veneracion

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how I make my tsokolateng tablea hot drink the modern way. Now, let me tell you how I made incredibly delicious milkshake with tablea. Yes, milkshake.

Tablea Milkshake

Tsokolateng tablea (Filipino chocolate) is traditionally prepared as a hot drink. But did you know that tsokolateng tablea makes wonderful milkshakes too?

Unlike commercial milkshakes that look like brown-colored sweetened milk, this milkshake retains the unmistakable bitter-sweet flavor of the chocolate.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk
  • tsokolateng tablea (see notes after the recipe)
  • ice

Instructions
 

  • Pour a cup of milk into a mug. Add the tablea.
  • Heat the milk in the microwave for a minute. This should moisten and soften the tablea a bit.
  • Pour the contents of the mug into the blender, add the other cup of cold milk and about six ice cubes.
  • Puree until smooth.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy your super rich milkshake.

Notes

How many chocolate tablets to add to a cup of milk depends on how thick and rich you want your milkshake. As a guide, view photos of the tsokolateng tablea that I have at home — I used 10 pieces per cup of milk.

Pork, mushrooms and green beans adobo in serving plate

Pork, Mushrooms and Green Beans Adobo

Pork, mushrooms and green beans soak up the salty-tangy-garlicky Filipino adobo sauce to perfection.

Baby portobello is used in this recipe but button mushrooms, shiitake and shimeji are good substitutes.
