Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- for garnish Whipped Cream
- for garnish Cherry
Instructions
1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and ensure they are measured out correctly. This will make the blending process smoother.
2. Place the vanilla ice cream in a blender. If the ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it softens slightly.
3. Add the whole milk to the blender. Adjust the amount of milk according to your preferred milkshake thickness. More milk makes a thinner milkshake, while less milk makes it thicker.
4. Pour in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the milkshake.
5. Add the granulated sugar. This step can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference or omitted if the ice cream is already very sweet.
6. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again.
7. Once your milkshake reaches the desired consistency, pour it into chilled glasses to keep it cold longer.
8. Top the milkshakes with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
9. Place a cherry on top of the whipped cream for a classic finishing touch.
10. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your homemade classic vanilla milkshake!
