							Scale
													
									
			Milkshake Base
- 2 cups plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy milk)
 - 1 cup plant-based ice cream
 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)
 - Sweetener to taste (sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
 
Topping and Optional
- Plant-based whipped cream (chilled)
 - Optional ice cubes
 - Optional garnishes: cinnamon, nutmeg, natural caramel syrup, plant-based chocolate shavings, maraschino cherry (natural)
 
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather your plant-based milk, plant-based ice cream, pure vanilla extract (natural), and sweetener. Make sure the ice cream is slightly softened so it blends easily for a smooth texture.
 - Blend the Milkshake: In a blender, combine two cups of plant-based milk with one cup of plant-based ice cream, one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (natural), and your choice of sweetener to taste. Blend on high until everything is thoroughly mixed and creamy, with no icy chunks remaining.
 - Adjust Texture and Sweetness: If the milkshake feels too thick, add a little more plant-based milk and blend again briefly. For more sweetness, gradually add your sweetener a little at a time, blending after each addition until you reach your perfect balance.
 - Pour and Top: Pour the vanilla milkshake into your favorite glass, then generously top it with chilled plant-based whipped cream for that irresistible final touch.
 - Optional Garnishes: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, add a drizzle of natural caramel syrup, or garnish with plant-based chocolate shavings and a natural maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy!
 
Notes
- Use cold ingredients: Chill plant-based milk and ice cream ahead of time for the best texture.
 - Don’t overblend: Blend just until smooth to keep a velvety, thick consistency.
 - Customize sweetness: Taste and adjust sweetener gradually to avoid overseasoning.
 - Chill your glass: Serving your milkshake in a cold glass helps keep it cooler longer.
 - Use fresh vanilla extract (natural) for enhanced flavor.
