Ingredients
Scale
Milkshake
- 4 cups vanilla bean ice cream
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Milkshake: In a blender, combine the vanilla bean ice cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream holds firm peaks and does not collapse.
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the milkshake evenly between four glasses. Transfer the whipped cream into a large ziplock bag, cut a small corner off to create a piping tip, and pipe a swirl of whipped cream atop each milkshake. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired milkshake thickness.
- For a vegan option, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
- Use chilled glasses to keep milkshakes cold longer.
- Use high-quality vanilla bean ice cream and pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
