Milkshakes Ingredients:

To make a classic milkshake, you’ll need:

• 2 cups of ice cream (vanilla is a versatile base, but feel free to choose your favorite flavor)
• 1 cup of milk (whole milk gives the creamiest texture, but you can use almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option)
• 2 tablespoons of sugar or sweetener (optional, depending on the sweetness of your ice cream)
• Optional add-ins:
  • 1/2 cup of fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, bananas)
  • 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist

     

    Step-By-Step Instructions For Milkshakes:

    1. Combine ingredients: In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, and sugar (if using).
    2. Blend: Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the milkshake is smooth and creamy.
    3. Add flavorings (optional): For vanilla, add the vanilla extract. For chocolate, add the chocolate syrup. For berry, add the berries and blend until smooth. For peppermint, add the peppermint extract and blend briefly.
    4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your milkshake and adjust the sweetness or flavoring as needed. For a richer taste, you can add a splash of heavy cream.
    5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour your milkshake into a tall glass. Top it with whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even a cherry for a classic finish.

       Get creative with flavors:

       • Strawberry: Use fresh or frozen strawberries.
