<h3> Ingredients:</h3>
1. <b> Ice Cream:</b> 2 cups (about 4 scoops) of your favorite flavor, typically vanilla or chocolate.
2. <b> Milk:</b> 1 cup. Whole milk gives a richer texture, but 2% or skim milk can be used for a lighter version.
3. <b> Sugar:</b> 2 tablespoons. Adjust according to your taste and the sweetness of your ice cream.
4. <b> Vanilla Extract:</b> 1 teaspoon (optional). Enhances the flavor, especially if using vanilla ice cream.
5. <b> Toppings(optional): </b> Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or a cherry for garnish.
<h3> Equipment:</h3>
• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tall glass
<h3> Instructions:</h3>
<b>1. Prepare the Ingredients:</b> Ensure your ice cream is slightly softened by letting it sit out for about 5 minutes. This makes it easier to blend.
<b>2. Add Ice Cream to Blender:</b> Scoop 2 cups of ice cream into the blender. The type of ice cream you use will significantly impact the flavor and creaminess of your milkshake.
<b>3. Pour in the Milk:</b> Add 1 cup of milk to the blender. This ratio can be adjusted depending on how thick or thin you prefer your milkshake. For a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk; for a thinner one, increase the milk.
<b>4. Sweeten and Flavor:</b> If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sugar. If you’re using vanilla ice cream, this might be optional, but it adds extra sweetness if needed. Also, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you want an extra depth of flavor.
<b>5. Blend the Ingredients:</b> Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the milkshake is too thick, add a bit more milk and blend again. If too thin, add more ice cream.
<b>6. Taste and Adjust:</b> Taste your milkshake. If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more sugar and blend briefly. If you’re adding other flavorings or mix-ins (like fruit or chocolate chips), blend them in until evenly distributed.
<b>7. Serve:</b> Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. If you like, top it with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or a cherry for an extra touch.
<b>8. Enjoy:</b> Insert a straw, grab a spoon if needed, and enjoy your homemade milkshake!
