Milkshake Recipe

Measure liquids and solids

Pour 3 dl whole milk into a measuring cup. Scoop two level scoops of vanilla ice cream and have your chosen flavoring ready (2 tbs syrup or 2 tbs mashed fresh fruit).

Combine in blender

Add the milk, ice cream, flavored syrup or mashed fruit, and 1 tsp granulated sugar into a blender. If you want a thicker, colder shake, add 3 ice cubes.

Blend until smooth

Secure the lid and blend on medium-high for 20–40 seconds, until the mixture is homogenous and frothy. Stop and scrape down the sides once if needed, then blend another 5–10 seconds.

Check consistency and adjust

Taste quickly and add more syrup or sugar if needed for sweetness (add by 1/2 tsp increments). If too thin, add a small extra scoop of ice cream and blend 10–15 seconds. If too thick, add 1–2 tbs milk and blend briefly.

Serve

Pour the milkshake into a chilled glass (about 3 dl yield).

Top the poured milkshake with 2 tbs whipped cream, sprinkle 1 tbs of chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or arrange a few pieces of fresh fruit, and finish with a maraschino cherry on top.
