Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Root beer
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Whipped cream
- 2 units Maraschino cherries
- 0.5 cups Crushed ice
- 2 units Root beer candy sticks or straws (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, root beer, milk, and crushed ice.
Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overblend, as the root beer can lose its fizz.
Pour the shake into two tall glasses, leaving a little room at the top for whipped cream.
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish each shake with a maraschino cherry and, if desired, a root beer candy stick or straw.
Serve immediately with a spoon and/or straw, and enjoy!
