Description

Nostalgic orange creamsicle milkshake combines classic summer flavors with cool, refreshing notes. Smooth vanilla ice cream and tangy orange create a delightful blend you’ll savor to the last sip.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup (158 mL / 5.3 fl oz) vanilla ice cream
  • ⅔ cup (158 mL / 5.3 fl oz) orange sherbet
  • ¾ cup (177 mL / 6 fl oz) orange soda
  • 3 tbsps whipped cream
  • 1 orange slice (optional)
  • 1 cherry (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chilling Preparation: Refrigerate a tall glass to enhance the milkshake’s presentation and maintain its frosty temperature.
  2. Blending Foundation: Pour chilled orange soda into a high-powered blender, creating a vibrant base for the creamsicle milkshake.
  3. Creamy Fusion: Combine vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet in the blender, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
  4. Smoothing Process: Pulse the mixture on medium speed for 20-30 seconds, transforming the ingredients into a silky, uniform consistency without over-mixing.
  5. Elegant Serving: Transfer the velvety mixture into the pre-chilled glass, allowing the orange and cream hues to intertwine beautifully.
  6. Luxurious Topping: Generously crown the milkshake with billowy whipped cream, covering the entire surface for a decadent finish.
  7. Artistic Garnish: Adorn the glass rim with a fresh orange slice and place a maraschino cherry atop the whipped cream peak, creating a visually appealing and classic presentation.

Notes

  • Chill Your Glass: Freezing the glass beforehand ensures the milkshake stays cold longer and creates a frosty, professional presentation.
  • Precise Blending Technique: Pulse the mixture briefly to maintain a smooth texture without over-mixing, which can make the shake too liquid.
  • Temperature Matters: Use chilled ingredients and blend quickly to preserve the creamy, thick consistency that defines a perfect milkshake.
  • Garnish with Flair: The orange slice and maraschino cherry aren’t just decorative – they add a burst of flavor and elevate the entire drinking experience.
