Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice frozen in cubes
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- whipped cream optional
- maraschino cherry optional
- orange slice optional
Instructions
- Add the vanilla ice cream, frozen orange juice, and whole milk to a blender.
- Blend until the milkshake is thick, smooth, and creamy with no visible streaks remaining.
- Pour into a chilled serving glass.
- If desired, top with whipped cream, an orange slice, and a maraschino cherry.
- Serve immediately while thick and icy cold.
Notes
- The orange juice must be frozen before blending. Using unfrozen juice will produce a thin drink instead of a thick milkshake.
- Fresh-squeezed orange juice provides the brightest, most natural orange flavor.
- Blend in a little more whole milk if the milkshake is too thick, or add more vanilla ice cream if you'd like it thicker.
- Place the serving glass in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to help keep the milkshake cold and thick longer.
- Whipped cream, an orange slice, and a maraschino cherry add a classic ice cream parlor presentation but are not required.
