Butterscotch Shake
This creamy butterscotch shake blends vanilla ice cream, rich butterscotch sauce, and milk for a decadent dessert in minutes. Top it with whipped cream for the perfect finish.
1 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup butterscotch sauce cooled (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a high-speed blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, cooled butterscotch sauce, and milk (or heavy cream). Blend on medium speed for approximately 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Ensure all ingredients are fully combined with no visible chunks of ice cream remaining.
Prepare the Serving Glass:
- For a frosty finish, place the serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes prior to pouring the shake. This helps keep the shake colder for longer and prevents melting.
Pour and Garnish:
- Carefully pour the butterscotch shake into the prepared glass. If desired, top with a generous swirl of whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle additional butterscotch sauce over the whipped cream or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-salty balance.
Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy the shake immediately for the best texture and flavor. If left standing too long, the ice cream will begin to melt and affect the creaminess.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the butterscotch sauce is certified gluten-free as some store-bought versions may contain additives with gluten. Opt for gluten-free vanilla ice cream and confirm the milk and cream are free from additives or stabilizers that might contain gluten.
