坟墓南瓜巧克力冰沙 Graveyard Pumpkin and Chocolate Smoothie

那天逛街时看到一些万圣夜Halloween的商品，手痒痒就买了一些回家。万圣夜的主题是鬼怪及吓人，我也来凑凑热闹做些诡异造型的饮料。通常与万圣夜扯上关系的都离不开南瓜，鬼魂，黑猫，女巫及骷髅，这里我就选了坟墓造型的南瓜巧克力冰沙，然后再搭骷髅造型吸水管。用巧克力写上RIP(安息)在Milano饼干看起来就像墓碑一样，把压碎后的Oreo饼干洒在墓碑周围就可以轻易营造出坟墓的感觉。不过如果避讳这些坟墓造型，觉得不吉利的话也可以选择不放写着RIP的饼干及骷髅造型吸水管，插上香草就可以当成盆栽造型的饮料（请看这里和这里）。

南瓜泥 1/2杯 

牛奶 1杯

1. 准备工作：将南瓜泥倒入制冰盒里，然后放入冰箱冷冻至结成冰块。把融化的巧克力装入一个塑胶袋中，在其中一角剪个小洞，挤出巧克力，在Milano饼干写上RIP字，收入盒子内备用。

2. 把南瓜冰块，牛奶，可可粉，蜂蜜和南瓜派香料放入搅拌机内打至幼滑，倒入玻璃杯中，然后挤上鲜奶油。

3.装饰：将写好RIP字的饼干插在鲜奶油上当作是墓碑，然后再撒上Oreo饼干碎来当坟墓的泥土。插上骷髅造型吸水管即可饮用。
