Milkshake Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large banana

Topping

  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel the banana and gather the vanilla ice cream and milk to have them ready for blending.
  2. Blend the milkshake: Combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, and banana in your blender. Blend on medium-high speed for 20 to 40 seconds until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the blending stalls, use the blender tamper to push down the ingredients gently, or add a small amount of milk to help the blending process, but be careful not to add too much to keep the shake thick.
  3. Serve: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top it generously with whipped cream, then serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana for a naturally sweet flavor.
  • If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk gradually to reach your desired consistency.
  • You can substitute regular milk with plant-based milk if desired, but it may subtly alter the flavor.
  • For an extra cold shake, chill the glass beforehand.
  • Leftover milkshake is best enjoyed immediately as it may separate if stored.
