The right ingredients make all the difference in this classic staple. The vanilla ice cream is the foundation of our milkshake, providing that smooth, creamy texture. Whole milk ramps up the creaminess and balances out the sweetness, while the vanilla extract boosts that unmistakable vanilla flavor. Substitute whole milk with almond or soy milk if you want a different twist or need a lactose-free option.
How To Make Old-Fashioned Vanilla Milkshake
- Start by scooping your ice cream into the blender. If the ice cream is super hard, you might want to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften it up a bit.
- Add the milk and pure vanilla extract. Remember, we���re going for an old-fashioned style milkshake, so it should be thick. Not too much milk!
- Now, let the blender work its magic! Blend until it’s all smooth and creamy.
- Pour it into your favorite glass, grab a straw (and maybe a spoon, because we like ’em THICK), and enjoy!
Tips For The Best Results
- Use quality ice cream for a richer flavor.
- Don���t over-blend! We want a thick consistency.
Storage Tips
- Best served fresh, but if you need to store it, freeze immediately to enjoy later.
