Shake Base

Method

Shake Preparation

1

Combine Ice Creams

In a blender, add 1 cup of chocolate ice cream, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, and 1 cup of strawberry ice cream. This will create a deliciously rich and colorful shake base.

2

Add Milk

Pour in 1 cup of milk to the blender. This will help blend the ice creams smoothly and create a creamy texture.

3

Blend

Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Make sure there are no lumps of ice cream left.

4

Taste & Adjust

Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or creaminess by adding more milk if needed. Blend again if you add more ingredients.

Topping Assembly

5

Serve the Shake

Pour the blended shake into tall glasses, filling them about 3/4 full.

6

Add Whipped Cream

Top each shake with a generous dollop of whipped cream, allowing it to spill slightly over the edges for a delightful presentation.

7

Finish with Syrups and Sprinkles

Drizzle chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup over the whipped cream. Finally, sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top for a fun touch.
