I'll try to share a real recipe later, but here's a couple deserts to enjoy. For the icecream, I recommend Breyer's. It's often on sale, and its high aeration works great for milkshakes - you can mash it with a spoon to the perfect consistency, no need to deal with floats or blenders.

Purple Cow:
IceCream, natural vanilla works best.
Real Grape Juice. Stronger is better, like Welch's grape cocktail juice - though thats only available frozen nowadays. If you want a sweeter flavor, then go with grape soda.
Get your nice tall glass, put a few big lumps of icecream in there - say halfway full. Then pour the grape juice to the same level. Mash it together with a spoon, taste, and decide whether you need more grape juice or icecream. The right consistency is about the same as a thick fastfood milkshake, the right flavor is slightly tart. Keeping that in mind, fill up the glass to the top with additional icecream and juice. Eat and enjoy your purple cow.

Amaretto Milkshake
Put several scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass. Pour some skim milk over it, mash together. Add one spoonful of amaretto lacquer. You can add chocolate syrup, but its not necessary.
