Ingredients
- Pitted fresh or frozen cherries
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whole milk
- Semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt, optional
- Whipped cream, optional
- Fresh cherries for garnish, optional
- Chocolate shavings or extra chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Wash and pit the cherries if using fresh fruit. Frozen pitted cherries can be used directly from the freezer for a thicker milkshake.
- Add the cherries, vanilla ice cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
- Blend until the cherries are fully incorporated and the milkshake is thick and creamy. If it is too thick to blend, add a small splash of additional milk.
- Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times, leaving small pieces of chocolate throughout the milkshake for texture.
- Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Top with whipped cream, fresh cherries, chocolate shavings, or additional chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
- Frozen cherries make the milkshake especially thick and cold and do not need to be thawed unless required by your blender.
- For a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk, use frozen cherries, or add more ice cream.
- For a chocolate cherry variation, replace the vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream.
- For a Black Forest-inspired milkshake, use chocolate ice cream and garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a fresh cherry.
- A tiny splash of almond extract can be added for an almond-cherry variation.
- This milkshake is best served immediately. Leftovers can be frozen briefly, softened slightly, and re-blended with a splash of milk before serving.
