How to make this milkshake

Measure the ice cream into a blender. Add the blueberries, cinnamon, and about half of the milk. You can add more milk if it is too thick.

Blend well until everything is mixed and the blueberries are well blended in. Top the Blueberry Milkshake with some whipped cream and any toppings (extras) you might like to use.

Faq's and tips

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! The frozen berries, however, can make the milkshake a bit thicker and you may need additional milk to get a consistency you like.

Do I need to add extra sugar to a blueberry milkshake?

Not usually, but sometimes blueberries can be a bit tart. You can sample the berries before blending the milkshake or take a tiny sample before serving the milkshakes. If they need a little extra sweetness, add some granulated sugar and blend again. Start with a small amount of sugar, maybe a teaspoon or so to start.

How do I measure the ice cream?

Measure your ice cream scoop. Add water to the scoop and pour it into a measuring cup. My scoop equals ¼ cup.

Or, you can add the milk to the blender and add the ice cream until the milk level raises. Use the guidelines on the side of the blender.
