Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (177 milliliters) orange soda
- ⅔ cup (158 milliliters) vanilla ice cream
- ⅔ cup (158 milliliters) orange sherbet
Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 orange slice (optional)
- 1 cherry (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass in the freezer for optimal milkshake presentation.
- Measure precisely 177 milliliters of chilled orange soda directly into a high-powered blender.
- Scoop two generously sized portions of premium vanilla ice cream into the blender, ensuring each scoop is approximately 120 grams.
- Add two equally sized scoops of tangy orange sherbet, matching the volume of the vanilla ice cream.
- Secure the blender lid and pulse the mixture on medium speed for 20-30 seconds, creating a smooth and velvety texture without over-processing.
- Carefully pour the creamy concoction into the pre-chilled glass, allowing the vibrant orange and cream colors to blend beautifully.
- Crown the milkshake with a lavish layer of fluffy whipped cream, covering the surface completely for maximum indulgence.
- Artfully position a fresh orange slice on the rim of the glass for a decorative and aromatic touch.
- Place a maraschino cherry at the center of the whipped cream peak as a classic milkshake garnish.
- For an extra thick and decadent experience, fold in an additional scoop of vanilla ice cream just before serving.
Notes
- Chill your glass beforehand for an extra frosty experience that keeps your milkshake cooler longer.
- Swap regular vanilla ice cream with French vanilla for a richer, more complex flavor profile.
- Use freshly whipped cream instead of store-bought for a luxurious, homemade touch.
- Experiment with different soda brands to find your perfect orange flavor intensity.
- For a boozy adult version, add a splash of orange liqueur or vodka to elevate the drink.
- Freeze your serving glass for 10 minutes to prevent rapid melting and maintain the milkshake’s creamy texture.
