Cherry Vanilla Milkshake
This drink is as pretty as it tastes. Make a dramatic layer by tilting the glass while pouring in the vanilla half of the milkshake. I love fun drinks like this one and this Red, White, and Blue Layered Drink, or this Cotton Candy Mocktail for kids
Here’s What You’ll Need to make this Cherry Vanilla Milkshake Recipe:
This should be enough to make four milkshakes
- One jar of maraschino cherries – without stems – 6 oz. – do not drain
- One jar of maraschino cherries – WITH stems – for garnish
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup of ice
- 7 oz. of fluff
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
Step One
- Blend the jar of maraschino cherries without the stems until it purees
Step Two
- Dividing the cherry puree’ evenly among the serving glasses, pour it into the bottom of the glasses.
Step Three
Tip: *If you want to make the white and red contrast – I suggest cleaning the cherry juice from the blender. Otherwise, you’ll get a pink and red milkshake.
- Pour the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth
- Aiming for a side of the glass, away from the cherry puree, tilt the glass at a slight angle. Pour the vanilla onto the clean glass surface and let it fill the space. You should get a cool division of the cherry and vanilla, showing a slanted line where they come together.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry with a stem.
