Name: Banana Split Milkshakes
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas: The bananas provide the base flavor for the milkshake and offer a natural sweetness. The riper, the better!; 2 cups vanilla ice cream: This is the classic base for the milkshake. Vanilla complements the bananas and works as the perfect neutral base for all the flavors to come together.; 1 cup milk: You’ll need this to blend everything smoothly. Use whole milk for extra creaminess, but any milk will work!; 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup: Chocolate syrup adds that rich, velvety sweetness that reminds you of the chocolate syrup drizzled on top of a banana split.; 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup: This will provide that fruity, sweet contrast to the other flavors. You can use fresh strawberries if you want a natural twist.; Whipped cream: For topping (because, come on, what’s a milkshake without a little whipped cream?).; Maraschino cherries: A classic banana split topping and a must for the finishing touch.; Chopped nuts (optional): You can use crushed peanuts or walnuts for a little crunch. It’s a great way to add texture and that classic banana split vibe.; Sprinkles (optional): For a pop of color and fun!

Instructions

Prepare the Bananas:
Start by peeling the bananas. Make sure they’re ripe—yellow with a few spots of brown is perfect because they’re sweeter that way. Slice them into smaller chunks so they blend easily.
Blend the Milkshake:
In a blender, add your banana chunks, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Now, for the fun part—add the chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup. This is where all the magic happens, turning your milkshake into the perfect fusion of flavors. Blend everything until smooth, and check the consistency. If you want it thicker, add more ice cream; if you want it thinner, just pour in a little more milk.
Taste Test:
Here’s a little tip: Always taste your milkshake before serving. If you feel like it needs more of a certain flavor, go ahead and add more of the syrup, or maybe even a splash of vanilla extract for that extra oomph. Blend it again and see if it hits the spot.
Serve the Milkshake:
Pour the milkshake into tall glasses. Don’t be shy with the size—these milkshakes are meant to be indulgent! Top them with a generous amount of whipped cream. (Yes, I’m talking about the fluffy, airy goodness that you can pile on without any guilt!)
Add the Finishing Touches:
Now, it’s time to add your favorite toppings. A maraschino cherry is an absolute must—after all, what’s a banana split without one? You can also sprinkle chopped nuts on top and even add some colorful sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
Serve and Enjoy:
Grab a straw, maybe a spoon if you’re feeling extra, and enjoy! It’s a perfect treat for a hot day or when you’re just craving a little comfort food.
