Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup cherries *see note*
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk powder (optional)

  2. Place the lid on top and blend on high until your cherry milkshake is thick and creamy
  3. Pour into your glasses, garnish with whipped cream, and enjoy

Notes

  • Fresh or frozen cherries: You can use either! Frozen will give you a thicker milkshake, so you may have to add a little more milk. If using fresh, just be sure to pit them first!
  • Your preferred thickness: Depending on how thick you like you milkshake, just add more or less milk. Start with less, then slowly add more as needed.
  • Make it chocolatey: In the mood for a chocolate cherry milkshake? Substitute the vanilla ice cream with chocolate and blend in some chocolate chunks as well!
  • Enjoy right away: A milkshake isn't really a dessert that you can make ahead of time, so once you blend it up, serve immediately for best results.
