Whether we’re treating ourselves on a warm afternoon or sharing a homemade dessert with friends, this classic shake always brings joy. Let’s make it together and enjoy every sip!
What Exactly Are We Making?
We’re creating a tall, chilled glass of vanilla milkshake, made with real ice cream and cold milk, topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream. It’s creamy, refreshing, and has that soft vanilla aroma we all love. The whipped cream adds richness and makes the drink look (and taste!) extra special.
All the Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe is simple and uses just a few everyday ingredients. Here’s what we need for one serving:
- Vanilla ice cream – 2 scoops (about 150 g)
- Cold milk – 1½ cups (about 360 ml)
- Whipping cream – ½ cup (120 ml)
- Sugar – 1 to 1½ tablespoons (depending on your taste)
- Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, sprinkles, or a cherry on top
Step 1: Whip the Cream First
1. Pour the whipping cream into a cold mixing bowl.
2. Add the sugar.
3. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat until soft peaks form. That means the cream should be fluffy but not too stiff.
4. Place the whipped cream in the fridge while we work on the milkshake.
Step 2: Blend the Vanilla Milkshake
1. In a blender, combine the cold milk and vanilla ice cream.
2. Add vanilla extract if you like a deeper vanilla flavor.
3. Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth and creamy. The texture should be thick, but not so thick that you can’t drink it with a straw.
4. If it feels too runny, just add a little more ice cream and blend again.
Step 3: Assemble Your Glass
1. Take out your favorite tall glass—if you’ve chilled it first, even better.
2. Pour in the milkshake until it’s about an inch from the top.
3. Carefully spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the top.
4. Add your favorite finishing touch: a cherry, some sprinkles, or even a mini cookie.
Why We Love This Simple Recipe
It’s easy, quick, and always delicious. We don’t need a fancy machine or any complicated steps. Just blend, whip, and enjoy. Plus, we can adjust the sweetness, thickness, and toppings however we like. It’s a great go-to when we want something sweet but don’t feel like baking or spending hours in the kitchen.
Fun Twists to Try
- Add banana slices before blending for a fruity twist.
- Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup on top.
- Use oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- Try flavored ice cream like vanilla bean or honey vanilla for a little variety.
