Ingredients
Milkshake
- 4 cups vanilla bean ice cream
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend the Milkshake: In a blender, combine the vanilla bean ice cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, ensuring no ice cream lumps remain for a velvety texture.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a medium bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is firm enough to hold shape when piped.
- Serve with Whipped Cream Swirl: Divide the milkshake evenly between four glasses. Transfer the whipped cream into a large Ziploc bag and snip off one corner. Pipe the whipped cream on top of each milkshake in a fun swirl shape resembling a ghost. Serve immediately for the best texture and presentation.
Notes
- You can adjust the milk quantity to make the milkshake thicker or thinner according to your preference.
- For a stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean ice cream and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired.
- Chill the glasses beforehand for an extra cold serving experience.
- Use fresh heavy cream and powder sugar for the best whipped cream consistency.
- This recipe serves 4 and is perfect for Halloween parties or any festive occasion.
