Cherry Milkshake
Sweet and creamy, this homemade cherry milkshake is super easy and fast. Frozen cherries make it thick, delicious, and perfectly chilly—no extra ice cubes needed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen cherries (pitted)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)
- whipped cream (optional/topping)
- 1 maraschino cherry (optional/topping)
Instructions
- Measure out cherries: Use frozen, pitted cherries for that perfect thick, cold base.
- Add to blender: Cherries, milk, ice cream, sugar, and vanilla extract all go in at once.
- Blend until smooth: No chunks left, everything should look creamy and pink.
- Pour and garnish: Pour into tall glasses, finish with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top.
Notes
- Try plant milk for a vegan shake—oat milk is super creamy and mild.
- Add more sugar if your cherries are tart, less if they’re super sweet.
- For a thinner shake, splash in a little extra milk before blending.
- Use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream for a lighter, tangy twist.
- Enjoy right after blending for the thickest, frostiest cherry milkshake experience.
- Fresh cherries work too; just remember to pit and add ice cubes.
