Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 1 Maraschino cherry
Instructions
Start by ensuring your vanilla ice cream is slightly softened. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes if it's too hard straight from the freezer.
In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
If you prefer a sweeter shake, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Note that this step is optional.
Blend the mixture on a medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Avoid over-blending as this could cause the shake to become too thin.
Taste the shake and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more sugar, blending briefly to incorporate.
Pour the shake into two tall glasses. For an added touch of indulgence, top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish each shake with a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your classic vanilla shake.
