Raspberry Milkshake Recipe

A classic raspberry milkshake can be whipped quickly, providing a creamy, fruity delight. 

Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

Making a classic raspberry milkshake is not rocket science, it requires only a couple of simple ingredients:

• 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries
• 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 1/2 cup of milk (whole milk for creaminess or almond/coconut milk for a lighter option)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)
• Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

• Put all the ingredients inside a blender: raspberries, vanilla ice cream and milk.

• Blend until it is smooth and creamy.

• If you want this to be sweet, add one tablespoon of sugar and blend it.

Step 2: Taste and Adjust

• Taste your milkshake before serving it.

• If it's too thick, a little bit of milk should work to thin it to the consistency you desire.

• If you feel it's not sweet enough, add some sugar or even drips of honey.

Step 3: Serve

• Serve the drink in chilled glasses. 

• Finish off by dragging in some whipped cream and fresh raspberries for a bit of a fancy twist.

Step 4: Enjoy!

• Grab a straw and a spoon to savour your raspberry milkshake's smooth and luscious flavor.

Tips for the Best Raspberry Milkshake:

Add frozen raspberries for extra chill:

• The milkshake will be thick and frosted if the raspberries are frozen.

• If fresh raspberries are used, add ice cubes to chill the milkshake.

Adjust the sweetness:

• Depending on the ripeness of your raspberries, your milkshake might be sweet or tangy.

• Sugar, honey, or agave syrup add easily.

Add-ins Fun twist:

• One can add chocolate chips or raspberry sorbet to make the meal taste more savoury.

• You may add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy, protein-packed variation.

Dairy-Free Version:

• Replace the dairy with coconut milk ice cream and almond or oat milk for a vegan option. 

• The coconut flavor mixes well with raspberries!
