Vanilla Milkshake – 2 ways
- Vanilla Milkshake with icecream – This is a classic combination of just blending chilled milk along with sugar , vanilla icecream and vanilla essence.

Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients
- Milk : Use full fat milk especially for milkshakes to get creamy smooth shake just as in restaurants. Boil cool down then chill the milk.
- Icecream : I have used vanilla icecream here. If you do not want to use icecream then freeze 2 cups milk and add it while blending replacing icecream.
- Vanilla essence : Though we use vanilla icecream I use a dash of vanilla essence or extract to get the punch. But if you don’t have vanilla essence then just skip it and use just vanilla icecream.
- Sugar : Though sugar is optional iI love to add it.

- Thin the shake by adding in more milk. If you want thick milkshake add more scoops of icecream.
