Ingredients
Scale
Before we dive into creating this masterpiece, let’s gather the essentials:
- 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (or your preferred flavor)
- 1 cup of milk (whole, skim, or your favorite dairy alternative)
- 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (or strawberry/pineapple for a tropical twist!)
- Whipped cream for topping
- Maraschino cherries for that classic touch
- Optional: chocolate chips or sprinkles for some extra deliciousness
Instructions
- Blend It Up: In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, and chocolate syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. (Note: if you want a thicker shake, feel free to add more ice cream. I promise, no one’s judging!)
- Taste Testing: This is the fun part! Give your milkshake a quick taste. Adjust the sweetness by adding more syrup if you like it on the sweeter side. Go ahead, it’s the personal touch that matters!
- Pour and Dress: Pour your perfectly blended milkshake into a tall glass. The taller, the better! Top it generously with whipped cream, and don’t forget those chocolate chips or sprinkles (because we eat with our eyes too, right?).
- Final Touch: Crown your creation with a maraschino cherry. Cheers to the masterpiece that awaits!
Notes
- Dairy Alternatives: If you’re looking to keep it dairy-free, almond or coconut milk works like a charm!
- Freeze Your Glass: For an ultra-chilly experience, pop your milkshake glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before pouring in your milkshake. It’s a game-changer!
- Make It Fun: Get the kids involved and let them decorate their milkshake with all the toppings they can think of. Trust me; there’s nothing quite like the look on their faces when they create their own sugary masterpiece!
