Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherries

    Wash the fresh cherries thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and pits, then place the pitted cherries in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the prepared cherries, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the shake is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Blend again to combine.

Serving

  1. 4

    Pour and Garnish

    Pour the cherry shake into your choice of small, medium, or large glasses. Top with whipped cream if desired, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

  2. 5

    Add Final Touches

    Garnish with a maraschino cherry on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
