    Ingredient Notes

    To make these easy Blackberry Milkshakes, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):

    • blackberries - I recommend ripe blackberries for the best results.
    • vanilla ice cream - you can used homemade no churn vanilla ice cream or store-bought ice cream — whatever is more convenient!
    • milk - feel free to use any milk that you like, whether that’s dairy milk or half and half or non-dairy milk like soy milk, oat milk, or almond milk.
    • honey - add more or less depending on your desired level of sweetness. You can also substitute it with another sweetener such as maple syrup or sugar.
    • toppings - top these milkshakes with extra whipped cream and extra blackberries (optional).

    You will also need measuring cups and spoons and a blender.

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    • How to customize: Use this recipe as a base for any fruit flavored milkshake. Substitute with other fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches. You can also use a combination of different fruit, just make sure the total amount that you add is 1 cup.
    • How to store: Homemade milkshakes are best enjoyed freshly made. You can store leftovers for a few hours in the fridge, but anything longer than that should be stored in the freezer. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, allow it to defrost on the kitchen counter for about 20 minutes.

      Oh! Happy Anniversary!
      I'm such a fan of blackberries. They grow wild all around our house. We venture out and fight the thorns to get a bucket full every year. I bet this milkshake is amazing.
