Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- optional (for garnish) Whipped cream
- optional (for garnish) Toasted almond slivers
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the raw almonds.
Toast the almonds for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the almonds from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the toasted almonds to a blender and pulse until finely ground. Do not over-blend, as they might turn into almond butter.
Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, almond extract, and honey to the blender along with the ground almonds.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired.
Pour the milkshake into two chilled glasses.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted almond slivers for an extra touch, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
