Description

Indulge in a creamy Vanilla Milkshake Delight made with vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and a hint of vanilla extract. This refreshing treat is topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and a cherry for a classic finish, perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
  • Sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add the 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. Make sure it’s slightly softened for easier blending. If it’s too hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of whole milk. You can adjust the amount of milk depending on how thick or thin you like your milkshake. For a thicker shake, use less milk; for a thinner shake, add a bit more.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. If desired, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of sugar to sweeten. Adjust according to your taste preferences.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender tightly to avoid spills.
  6. Start blending on low speed to combine the ingredients, then gradually increase to high speed until smooth and creamy (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
  7. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or vanilla extract.
  9. Grab your favorite tall glasses or milkshake cups.
  10. Pour the milkshake into the glasses, filling them up to the rim.
  11. Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  12. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream if desired.
  13. Add a maraschino cherry on top for a classic touch.
  14. Sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top for decoration.
  15. Grab a straw or a long spoon and dig in!
  16. Savor the creamy texture and delightful vanilla flavor.
  17. If sharing, take turns enjoying the milkshake, but you might want to keep it all to yourself!

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to the blender.
