Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 scoops ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 cup milk, whole or 2%
  • 3 tablespoons syrups or flavorings, chocolate syrup or fruit purees
  • whipped cream, for topping
  • crushed cookies, for topping
  • fresh fruits, for topping
  • peanut butter, optional add-in
  • instant coffee granules, optional add-in

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients on the countertop.
  2. In a blender, combine two generous scoops of ice cream with one cup of milk.
  3. Blend until smooth, ensuring a few chunks remain for character.
  4. Drizzle in syrups or add fruit purees, about three tablespoons, and blend again.
  5. Add optional add-ins like peanut butter or instant coffee granules and blend until fully incorporated.

  7. Sprinkle crushed cookies or fresh fruits on top for decoration.

Notes

Storage: Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 30 minutes. If it gets too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Reheating: Milkshakes should not be reheated as they can lose their creamy texture. If the milkshake has thickened too much after storing, blend it again with a small amount of milk until smooth.

Serving: Serve milkshakes in tall glasses and don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Use whipped cream, crushed cookies, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of syrup for a visually appealing treat.

Chef’s Tip: For an extra thick milkshake, try using frozen fruit or slightly less milk. Also, blending ingredients in pulses can help maintain some texture while achieving that perfect creamy consistency.
