Vanilla ice cream
Milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternatives work well)
Fresh or frozen blueberries
Honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
Vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

I add the ice cream, milk, blueberries, and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender.
I blend until smooth and creamy, adding a bit more milk if I want a thinner consistency.
I taste and add honey or sugar if it needs more sweetness.
I pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a few extra blueberries if I’m feeling fancy.
I serve immediately with a straw or spoon for the thickest texture.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small milkshakes and takes just 5 minutes from start to finish. It’s perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

Variations

I add a scoop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a tangy twist.
I blend in a banana or strawberries for a mixed berry milkshake.
I use blueberry ice cream for even more berry flavor.
I make it dairy-free with coconut milk or almond milk and plant-based ice cream.

storage/reheating

This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately. If I need to store it briefly, I keep it in the freezer for 15–20 minutes and stir before serving. I don’t recommend storing leftovers for long since the texture will change. Blueberry Milkshake

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, and I often do—they help make the milkshake even colder and thicker.

What’s the best ice cream to use?

Classic vanilla works great, but I also like using French vanilla or even blueberry ice cream for more flavor.

Is this milkshake very sweet?

It depends on the blueberries and ice cream. I taste before adding any sweetener, then adjust as needed.

Can I make it vegan?

Yes! I use non-dairy milk and plant-based vanilla ice cream. It’s just as creamy and delicious.

How do I make it thicker?

I use less milk or add more ice cream. Frozen blueberries also help thicken the shake naturally.

This Blueberry Milkshake is a refreshing blend of creamy ice cream and juicy berries, making it a perfect treat any time I’m craving something cool and fruity.
