About Shakes

Shakes cost $3.99 with 499 calories for the standard size. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry are the year round flavors, each spun thick enough that the straw stands up on its own and finished with whipped cream.

Seasonal flavors rotate through alongside the core three, with the Peach Shake at $3.99 the most requested of them. Size makes a real difference to the calorie total, so ordering small rather than large is the easiest adjustment.

How to Make Shakes at Home?

A thick shake needs hard ice cream and very little milk. Most homemade shakes fail because people add too much liquid at the start.

Prep 5 minCook 0 minEasy2 servings

Ingredients

Shake

3 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream, frozen hard
1/3 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

1/2 cup whipped cream

Instructions

0 of 5 steps

Step 1. Chill the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 2. Add ice cream to the blender first, then a small amount of milk.
Step 3. Blend in short pulses, adding milk a splash at a time only if it will not move.
Step 4. Stop as soon as it is smooth, since over blending melts it.
Step 5. Pour into the chilled glasses and top with whipped cream.

Tips

Start with less milk than you think. You can always add more, you cannot take it out.
Freeze the glasses. A cold glass buys several extra minutes of thickness.
Pulse rather than run the blender, since friction heat thins the shake fast.

Variations

Strawberry using frozen strawberries blended in.
Add a shot of espresso to the chocolate for a mocha shake.
Blend in a cookie for a cookies and cream version.

Serving Ideas

A shake and fries is the classic salt and sweet pairing. Dipping is expected, not optional.
