Ingredients

Vanilla Ice Cream (2 cups): The base of the milkshake! It’s important to use a good-quality vanilla ice cream. You want one that’s creamy and smooth because it provides the perfect contrast to the rich caramel. You can even use a caramel-flavored ice cream if you want an extra boost of caramel flavor!
Milk (1 cup): Full-fat milk is ideal, but you can use any kind you prefer, including almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Milk adds that smoothness that makes the milkshake easy to sip and perfectly creamy.
Caramel Sauce (1/2 cup): Here’s where the magic happens. You can use store-bought caramel sauce, or if you’re feeling extra, you can make your own from scratch! Either way, this ingredient adds the most divine, smooth sweetness to your milkshake. I usually go for a rich, buttery caramel sauce to give that extra indulgence.
Whipped Cream (optional, for topping): This is totally optional, but I love adding a little dollop of whipped cream to the top for some extra fluffiness and that visual ‘wow’ factor. You can also add a sprinkle of crushed caramel candies or a drizzle of more caramel sauce on top!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Start by gathering your ingredients. If you’re using store-bought caramel sauce, make sure it’s at room temperature so it mixes easily. For homemade caramel sauce, just be sure to have it ready and cooled before using. Same goes for the ice cream—let it sit out for a couple of minutes before scooping to make the blending process smoother.

Step 2: Blend the Milkshake

In a blender, add the vanilla ice cream, milk, and caramel sauce. I like to start with the ice cream and caramel first, then pour in the milk. This ensures the milkshake blends more easily without too much splashing. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the power of your blender.

If your milkshake is too thick for your liking, add a bit more milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, throw in another scoop of ice cream.

Step 3: Taste Test

This is where the fun begins! After blending, taste the milkshake to see if you want more caramel or vanilla. If you’re a caramel lover like me, don’t hesitate to drizzle a little more caramel sauce in and blend for a second or two.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses. Top with whipped cream if you’d like, and drizzle with extra caramel sauce. You can even add a sprinkle of crushed caramel candies or a pinch of sea salt for a little extra flavor kick.
