Without further ado, here are five delicious milkshake recipes to delight your taste buds:

1. Mixed Berry

Base:

• Strawberry ice cream
• Milk

Or

• Vanilla ice cream
• Strawberry milk

Mix-In Toppings:

Equal parts:

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Raspberries

Let’s start with something light and fruity. If you’re in the mood for something creamy and sweet, but also want to make sure you’re getting your daily recommended dose of fresh fruit, the Mixed Berry Milkshake is for you! You can create your base out of either strawberry ice cream and milk or vanilla ice cream and strawberry milk, then toss in as many fresh berries as you please, and watch them blend together with ease!

2. S’mores

Base:

• Chocolate ice cream
• Milk

Or

• Vanilla ice cream
• Milk
• Chocolate syrup

Mix-In Toppings:

• Graham crackers
• Marshmallows
• Hershey’s chocolate bars or chocolate chips

Who’s ready to go camping? The s’mores flavor is an American classic. Though it’s unclear who originally invented the humble s’more, the first published recipe for “Some Mores” appeared in a 1927 publication called Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.

To create the perfect S’mores Milkshake, blend a chocolate-flavored base (with either chocolate ice cream and milk or vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and milk) with all the fixins of the campfire treat: graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey’s chocolate bars or chocolate chips. Yum!

3. Strawberry Cheesecake

Base:

• Strawberry ice cream
• Milk

Or

• Vanilla ice cream
• Strawberry milk

Mix-In Toppings:

• Graham crackers
• Cream cheese
• Strawberries

Okay, we’ll admit it. Cheesecake is our guilty pleasure, and its rich, creamy flavor translates perfectly into a delicious shake! For a delectable dessert to please any palette, make sure to include a cheesecake option on your menu. Strawberry is a classic flavor to begin with.

To blend your own Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake, create a strawberry-flavored base with either strawberry ice cream and regular milk or vanilla ice cream and strawberry milk. (Can’t get enough of the strawb? Go wild with both strawberry ice cream and strawberry milk!) Then, mix in graham cracker crumbles, cream cheese, and fresh strawberries, and watch the Swirl Freeze blend like a pro. Be careful giving away sips of this shake — you might not get it back!

4. Rocky Road

Base:

• Chocolate ice cream
• Milk

Mix-In Toppings:

• Marshmallows
• Walnuts or Almonds

Simple. Classic. Delicious. Rocky Road is one of America’s favorite ice cream flavors, blending the sweetness of marshmallows with the smokiness of tree nuts to create a fun, decadent dessert. There is some debate regarding the flavor’s original inventor, but according to at least one legend, the name “Rocky Road” is an allusion to the tumultuous economy after the stock market crash in 1929, around the time the flavor was born.

To blend your own, mix a chocolate-flavored base with marshmallows and the nut of your choice (we recommend either walnuts or almonds). It’s not 1929 anymore, and you can’t go wrong when you’re heading down the Rocky Road!

5. Ginger Spice

Base Flavor:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Milk

Mix-In Toppings:

• Cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Ginger cookie crumble

Before it was the name of your favorite Spice Girl, it was the name of an iconic milkshake flavor. Meet the Ginger Spice Milkshake! Cinnamon and ginger go together like peanut butter and jelly, and they are perfectly suited to blend together in a delicious drinkable dessert.

Making your own is very straightforward. Choose a simple vanilla base with vanilla ice cream and milk, then add cinnamon, ginger cookie crumbles, and just a pinch of salt. Voila! This shake is sure to vanish quickly.
