Ingredients
  

  • Fresh Plums 2-3 medium-sized, ripe: The star of the recipe, plums add a sweet and slightly tart flavor. Make sure they’re ripe for the best taste.
  • Milk 1 cup: You can use regular dairy milk for a rich texture or opt for almond, oat, or coconut milk for a plant-based option.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream 2 scoops: This adds creaminess and enhances the dessert-like quality of the shake. For a vegan version, use non-dairy ice cream.
  • Sweetener optional, 1-2 teaspoons: Depending on the sweetness of your plums, you can add sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste.
  • Ice Cubes 4-5: Perfect for a chilled, refreshing shake, especially on warm days.
  • Optional Garnishes: Whipped cream plum slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate the presentation.

Pro Tip:

  • For an extra burst of flavor freeze your plum slices before blending. This helps create a thicker, frosty milkshake that feels even more indulgent.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Plums

  • Wash the plums and dry them with a towel.
  • Cut the plums in half, remove the pits, and slice them into smaller chunks for easier blending.
  • Tip: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel the plums, though this is optional.

Blend the Ingredients

  • Add the plums, your choice of milk, ice cream, and sweetener into a blender.
  • Toss in a handful of ice cubes to keep the milkshake chilled.
  • Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until everything is smooth and well combined. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.

Adjust the Consistency

  • Taste your milkshake. If it’s too thick, just add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. If you prefer more sweetness, feel free to add a bit more sweetener and blend again.

Serve and Garnish

  • Pour the milkshake into glasses. For an extra touch, top with whipped cream, a fresh plum slice, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
