Three Guys From Miami: Cuban and Spanish Food Recipes
Jorge Castillo: Batidos are Cuban milkshakes, similar to American Style shakes, but with several unusual flavors.

Glenn Lindgren: The most popular are probably the many tropical flavors: mango, mamey, guanabana.

Jorge Castillo: One unusual batido in the Morir Soñando.

Glenn Lindgren: The name literally means "to die dreaming" in Spanish.

Jorge Castillo: Many people compare the flavor to an American treat, the Dreamsicle ice cream bar.

Batidos - Cuban Milkshakes

Morir Soñando -- Cuban Orange Cream Milkshake

By Three Guys From Miami

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Yield: Varies

Batidos are Cuban milkshakes, similar to American Style milkshakes, but with several unusual flavors.


3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
1/2 cup crushed ice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Put everything in the blender except the ice and process until frothy. Add the crushed ice and process until the ice is ground fine and the batido is thick and rich.

TIP: If you have time, you can freeze your fruit and omit the crushed ice, for a thicker, richer shake. Just cube the fruit or cut it in smaller chunks and freeze. You may also find frozen fruit chunks (not pulp) at your local market. If using frozen pulp -- because your local grocer does not carry exotic fruits, but the local Latin market sells pulp -- allow the pulp to thaw slightly. Break the pulp into smaller chunks to accomodate your blender.
NOTE: The sweetened condensed milk is a very Cuban addition. You may omit this ingredient by substituting an equal amount of sugar or to your own taste.
