Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: Start by chilling your glass in the freezer for a few minutes to keep the milkshake cold and refreshing when served.
Step 2: In a blender, add the vanilla ice cream, apple cider, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 3: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, making sure all ingredients are well-combined.
Step 4: Taste and adjust the flavor. If you prefer a stronger apple cider taste, add a little more apple cider and blend again.
Step 5: Pour the milkshake into the chilled glass. Top with whipped cream for a frothy, rich layer on top.
Step 6: Drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness and a decorative touch.
Step 7: Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of apple to enhance the presentation.
Notes
- Use Quality Apple Cider: Since apple cider is the main flavor component, opt for fresh, high-quality apple cider for the best results.
- Chill Ingredients in Advance: Keeping the ice cream and cider extra cold will help your milkshake blend to a creamy, thick consistency without melting too quickly.
- Blend Thoroughly: To ensure a smooth, rich texture, blend all ingredients well and taste for your desired flavor intensity.
