Ever since that first shot of the Cotton Candy milkshake set Instagram ablaze with likes, comments and regrams, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer has been experimenting with all sorts of limited-edition milkshakes, like its rainbow-topped St. Patrick's Day shake, and the Sour Power, a gummy-candy-covered treat made specifically for pop star Zendaya. The latter was so popular it earned a spot on the regular menu, and as we stared at all of the towering shakes, we had to wonder: What would a Delish shake look like?
We posed the question to chef/owner Joe Isidori and his social media manager, Brittany Stark (who often creates the shakes, based on Isidori's vision), asking them to help us create one seriously over-the-top dessert to celebrate hitting 100K followers on Instagram—a feat, considering we'd been at 660 total exactly one year ago.
Black Tap didn't disappoint, concocting a shake that basically embodies the Delish spirit: dripping in chocolate syrup, covered in crushed Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream bars and topped with a majestic mash-up of two of our readers' absolute favorite foods: Oreo Cheesecake.
Yes, that's an entire slice topping the shake, which is also crowned with three chocolate-covered Oreos. Despite using some tried-and-true Black Tap methods to build the milkshake—creating a frosting "glue" to hold the candy on the rim, and forming a whipped cream "bridge" to keep the toppings in place—gravity soon won out, and within minutes, bits of Oreo and white chocolate bars started toppling off the shake.
Not that we minded—we were too busy devouring it (even catching crumbs before they could hit the table). The milkshake won't be sold at the restaurant, but if you watch the video above, you can pretty much figure out how to make it yourself. You better believe we will be.
