Sunny’s 1-2-3 Milkshake
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 2 servings
- Total: 20 min (includes softening time)
- Active: 5 min
Ingredients
1 pint ice cream, left on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes to soften
3 ounces ice-cold milk
2 drops vanilla, lemon or almond extract (see Cook's Note)
Mix-ins such as pretzels, chopped candy bars, malt powder, peanut butter, flavored syrups or cookies, as desired
Directions
- In a blender, add the ice cream, milk and extract and blend until smooth. Add desired mix-ins and blend again to incorporate.
Cook’s Note
Extracts work best when they complement the ice cream flavor. For vanilla ice cream, each would work well. Think lemon extract for fruity ice creams like strawberry or raspberry, and almond for chocolate or peanut butter ice cream. The extracts will enhance the flavor and make it taste more like a milkshake and less like melted ice cream.
