  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

  • Sliced almonds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of pitted fresh or frozen cherries, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.
  2. Blend Milkshake: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, cherries, and almond extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the cherries are fully incorporated.

Notes

  • For a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream or use less milk.
  • Use frozen cherries if fresh ones are out of season; no need to thaw before blending.
  • Adjust the almond extract to taste; a little goes a long way.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute ice cream and milk with almond milk or other plant-based alternatives.
  • Sliced almonds add a nice crunch but can be omitted for a smoother texture.
