This Milkshake is Hot Hot Hot!

I was in Houston last week in the kitchen with Randy Bishop and Meghan Coughlin. It was so hot and humid. I started messing around with some ideas and came up with this great shake. Randy was kind of looking at me weird when I added the honey and Meghan was not real big on the sour cream idea. But, they both agreed that the final product was wonderful. This shake is simple to make and very refreshing. I hope that you give it a try. I used fresh fruit for the recipe, but you may be able to substitute frozen in a pinch.
