Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup orange soda
  • 2/3 cup vanilla ice cream (approximately 2 scoops)
  • 2/3 cup orange sherbet (approximately 2 scoops)

Toppings and Garnishes

  • 3 tbsp whipped cream
  • Orange slice (optional)
  • Cherry (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add Orange Soda: Pour 3/4 cup of orange soda into your blender. This will provide the fizzy citrus base for your milkshake.
  2. Add Vanilla Ice Cream: Add 2 large scoops (about 2/3 cup) of vanilla ice cream to the blender for creaminess and classic flavor.
  3. Add Orange Sherbet: Add 2 large scoops (about 2/3 cup) of orange sherbet to enhance the orange tang and add smooth sherbet texture.
  4. Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ice cream and sherbet are fully incorporated with the soda.
  5. Pour and Serve: Pour the milkshake into a glass.
  6. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a generous 3 tablespoons of whipped cream on top to complement the flavors and add a fluffy texture.
  7. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with an orange slice and a cherry to give a classic creamsicle look and extra freshness.
  8. Optional Thickness Tip: For an extra thick milkshake, add more ice cream to the blender before blending.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the milkshake by adding more vanilla ice cream if you prefer it richer and thicker.
  • Using chilled ingredients will help keep the milkshake cold and refreshing longer.
  • For a fizzy texture, blend just until smooth, avoiding over-blending which might lose carbonation.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, choose a diet orange soda or reduce the sherbet quantity.
  • You can omit the whipped cream and garnishes for a simpler presentation without compromising flavor.
