Cuisine: Latin American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
- 1 cup milk
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of dulce de leche, 1 cup of milk, whipped cream for topping, and chocolate shavings for garnish if desired.
- In a blender, combine the 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of dulce de leche, and 1 cup of milk. Ensure that the dulce de leche is at room temperature for easier blending.
- Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender's power.
- Once blended, taste the shake to see if you would like it sweeter. If desired, you can add a bit more dulce de leche and blend again briefly.
- Pour the shake into two tall glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for whipped cream.
- Top each shake generously with whipped cream. You can either use a can of whipped cream or whip your own using heavy cream and a bit of sugar.
- If you like, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream for an added touch of flavor and decoration.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon, and enjoy your delicious Dulce de Leche Shake!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your dulce de leche is at room temperature for smoother blending and better flavor integration.
- Blending Technique: Blend on medium speed and avoid over-mixing to maintain the perfect creamy consistency.
- Customization is Key: Adjust the sweetness by adding more dulce de leche if you prefer an extra sweet shake.
- Presentation Tip: Use chilled glasses to keep your shake colder for longer and create a beautiful frosted effect.
- Garnish Like a Pro: Don't skip the whipped cream and chocolate shavings - they elevate the shake from good to absolutely irresistible!
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the base mixture in advance and blend just before serving to save time.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
