A delicious and creamy vanilla milkshake recipe that can be topped with homemade whipped cream and your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk or your favorite dairy-free milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Sweetener, if desired, to taste
  • For the Homemade Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Caramel sauce
  • Colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Place your serving glasses in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before preparing the milkshake so they stay extra cold.
  2. Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using) to a blender. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is perfectly smooth, thick, and creamy.
  3. Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness or consistency if needed. Blend again briefly after making any changes.
  4. If you’re making fresh whipped cream, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together with a splash of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  5. Pour the finished milkshake into the chilled glasses. Top generously with whipped cream and decorate with cherries, chocolate or caramel sauce, and sprinkles if desired.
  6. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.

Notes

  • Fresh whipped cream can be prepared up to one day in advance. Keep it refrigerated in an airtight container and give it a quick whisk before serving if needed.
