Notes
- Make it extra thick: For that classic diner-style texture, use a little more ice cream or cut back on the milk.
- Prefer it lighter? Add a splash of milk at a time until you reach your ideal creaminess.
- Play with flavors: Turn your milkshake into something new — blend in chocolate syrup, peanut butter, fresh strawberries, or crushed cookies for a fun twist.
- Go dairy-free: Use your favorite plant-based milk (like oat, almond, or coconut) and a dairy-free ice cream for a delicious vegan version.
- Serve it like a pro: Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring. It keeps the milkshake frosty and gives that picture-perfect, café-style finish.
