Blueberry Milkshake Recipe
Description
This Blueberry Milkshake combines milk, frozen blueberries, honey as a sweetener, and vanilla ice cream to create a creamy beverage. The frozen blueberries provide a thicker texture compared to fresh berries and blend smoothly, adding natural fruit flavor. Vanilla ice cream enriches the shake with a creamy base and smooth texture, while honey sweetens the drink lightly without overshadowing the blueberries.
Blending all ingredients and gradually increasing speed allows the shake to become well-mixed and smooth. Adjusting sweetness or thickness is possible by altering honey or ice cream quantities. Using different types of milk affects creaminess and flavor, with whole milk yielding a richer taste and non-dairy milks providing a lighter alternative.
The milkshake serves as a refreshing snack or dessert, and the use of frozen berries means it can be made year-round. It pairs well with lighter meals or as a standalone treat.
For best texture, frozen blueberries are recommended over fresh. Choose good-quality vanilla ice cream for optimal flavor. Modifying the amount of ice cream or milk customizes thickness to personal preference.
Ingredients
- 1 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups blueberries see notes, frozen
- 1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon honey or another sweetener
Instructions
- Pour the milk into your blender jar, followed by the blueberries, honey and ice cream.
- Start the blender on low speed and gradually increase to high speed. Blend until the blueberries are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Give the milkshake a quick taste and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed. Add more honey for extra sweetness, or more ice cream for a thicker consistency.
- Pour the blueberry milkshake into glasses and enjoy!
Notes
- Frozen blueberries create a creamier shake than fresh ones because they blend more smoothly.
- You can use whole milk, skim milk, almond, or soy milk; whole milk adds more richness.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more ice cream to thicken or more milk to thin the milkshake.
- Use a quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor outcome.
