Water Taxi Beach is a summertime only venue in Long Island City (Queens), complete with trucked in sand, neon plastic palm trees, and a spectacular sunset view of the midtown skyline.

In addition to being co creator of the NYC Food Film Festival,   Chef Harry Hawk runs the Burger Shack at Water Taxi Beach.  Today he shares with us a recipe for an adult milkshake made with two of our favorite ingredients: Klondike bars and beer!

Chef Harry Hawk’s Klondike Beer Milkshake

Ingredients
2 chocolate Klondike bars
1½–2 oz. Dogfish Head World Wide Stout or Chicory Stout or Indian Brown Ale

Instructions
Place Klondike bars in blender with stout or beer.
Blend until well mixed.

“The bitter dark beer turns the milk chocolate ice cream into a dark chocolate treat. With the right ratio of ice cream to beer, you taste neither the beer nor the original ice cream flavor. With World Wide Stout’s alcohol content (18%), the overall effect is of a chocolate truffle confection.”
