Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 scoops ice cream
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackcurrants
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Preparation Time

Total Time: 20 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Start by prepping all your ingredients. Gather your fruits — strawberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants. Rinse them well under cold water and pat them dry.
  2. Take a blender and add the scoops of ice cream as the base. This gives the milkshake its creamy and icy texture.
  3. Add the prepped fruits into the blender. You can adjust the quantity based on your taste preference or the availability of the fruits.
  4. Sprinkle in the sugar and vanilla sugar over the fruits and ice cream. This will enhance the sweetness and add a delightful aroma to your milkshake.
  5. Blend the ingredients on medium speed to combine them well. You'll begin to see a rich, vibrant color as the berries blend with the ice cream.
  6. Once the initial ingredients are well mixed, it's time to pour in the milk. Be sure to pour gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
  7. Blend again on high speed until smooth. The goal is to have a creamy texture without any fruit chunks unless you prefer it that way.
  8. Taste the milkshake; if needed, add more sugar according to your preference.
  9. Pour the milkshake into tall glasses, filling them up to the brim for a satisfying serving.
  10. For an added touch, garnish with a swirl of whipped cream on top.
  11. Sprinkle a few additional berries from your mix over the whipped cream for a pleasing presentation.
  12. Serve the milkshake immediately while it's still cold and refreshing.
  13. To enjoy the milkshake to its fullest, use a straw for easy sipping.
  14. Optionally, serve with a spoon for those who like to scoop the creamier parts.
  15. If prepared in advance, keep it chilled in a refrigerator, but note that it's best enjoyed fresh and foamy.
  16. To make a thicker milkshake, you can add an extra scoop of ice cream or reduce the amount of milk.
  17. For a vegan version, substitute the ice cream and milk with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut ice cream.
  18. This shake can also be turned into a protein-rich drink with the addition of a scoop of protein powder.
  19. Enjoy your homemade berry delight milkshake on a sunny afternoon or as a dinner dessert.
  20. Share with friends and family to spread the joy of this delicious and easy-to-make treat!
