Our Simple Vanilla Milkshake Recipe
I love unexpected nights like this. And what makes a good night even better is an amazing milkshake! A no-frills, basic, vanilla milkshake recipe that you can just slowly sip as you dissolve into your alter ego.
As always, it tastes best with homemade ingredients, like homemade vanilla ice cream. If you don’t have much time, you can always use store bought ice cream, of course.

No big blender to get out, an immersion blender works great for this vanilla milkshake. Simply blend and then wash it, and it’s the perfect size for one sweet drink!
Flavor it up
Make your own milkshake version and whip up your favorite flavor of milk and ice cream. Grab what you have in the freezer and treat yourself. Chocolate, strawberry, candy cane, rum raisin, mint chip – it’s ALL GOOD!
You can also spike your milkshake! Add a shot of vodka or rum and really relax! Add a dash of Bailey’s or Kahlua or add a shot of Schnapps for some zing! It’s completely up to you how you want to make your milkshake. The point is just to make it.
Make a Milkshake with an Immersion Blender
With a handheld immersion blender, you finish your vanilla milk shake in no time! Just add ingredients into a container or bowl, blend until smooth, pour into glasses, decorate and serve!

Now wasn’t that fast? I made this simple vanilla milkshake recipe in under 2 minutes in real time. For me, the best part is the easy clean up and that it doesn’t take up a lot of room on the drying rack. Don’t believe me?
