Ingredients
Milkshake Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large banana
Toppings
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather the vanilla ice cream, milk, and a large ripe banana. Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Blend the Milkshake: Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, and banana pieces into a blender. Blend on medium-high speed for about 20-40 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the mixture sticks to the sides, use the blender tamper to push ingredients towards the blades. If too thick for blending, add a small additional amount of milk cautiously to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top generously with whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Dairy Queen Banana Milkshake!
Notes
- Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- If you prefer a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk slightly.
- For a colder shake, use frozen banana slices.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or sugar if desired, though the banana and vanilla ice cream usually provide enough sweetness.
- This recipe serves one, so double the ingredients for more servings.
