Notes
- Sometimes frozen ice cream can be hard to scoop, especially to measure. I recommend letting it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften up beforehand.
- Milkshakes don't store well, so don't try to make these ahead of time even for guests for a dinner or party. You can however double or even triple the batch, depending on the side of your blender.
- As written this recipe is a family friendly treat that can be enjoyed by all ages. However, if you're making it for adults you can turn it into an ice cream cocktail by adding a shot or two of either brandy or dark rum.
