Method

Preparation of Milkshake Base

  1. 1

    Blend the Base Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Flavoring the Milkshake

  1. 2

    Add Optional Flavorings (if desired)

    If you prefer a flavored milkshake, add chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, or crushed cookies to the blender. Blend again for an additional 10-15 seconds until the flavoring is well incorporated.

Serving the Milkshake

  1. 3

    Pour into Glasses

    Pour the milkshake mixture into tall glasses, filling them about 3/4 full.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Add a maraschino cherry on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings as a finishing touch.
