I love how flexible they are. You can keep things classic with chocolate or vanilla, or take a turn toward fruity, nutty, and even unexpected flavor twists. The best part is that you do not need a fancy machine or a long list of steps.

Vegan Oreo Milkshake
If you are dairy free and still want a creamy, chocolatey treat, this vegan Oreo milkshake is for you. It tastes rich, and it is full of cookie crunch.
Add 2 cups vegan vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup vegan milk, 10 Oreos, and 1/3 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips to your blender. The original post used So Delicious vanilla bean coconut milk ice cream, oat milk, and Nestle Toll House vegan chips.
Blend everything until smooth, pour into a glass, and serve immediately. Nobody at the table will guess it is dairy free.
Biscoff Milkshake
Biscoff cookies bring a caramelized, lightly spiced flavor that turns a simple shake into something special. Blend 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup whole milk, 10 crushed Biscoff cookies, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
If you want a little extra indulgence, drizzle 2 tablespoons caramel sauce inside each 16 oz glass first. Divide the milkshake between the two glasses, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for crunch. Serve immediately.

The cookies do double duty here, flavoring the shake and giving you a crunchy finish.
Chocolate Freakshake
This one is the showstopper of the list. It makes 1 serving, and it is built to look as good as it tastes.
You will need 1 cup chocolate milk, 2 scoops chocolate ice cream, 2 tablespoons marshmallow, 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips, 1/2 cup oat milk, 1/3 cup of your favorite chocolate, and 2 to 3 squares blonde or salted caramel chocolate for garnish.
Chocolate sauce is optional, and any milk can be used in place of the oat milk.

Melt the chocolate gently on the stove or in the microwave. While it is still warm, spread it inside and outside the glass and drizzle it around the inside rim.
Blend the ice cream, chocolate milk, and oat milk until smooth, then pour the shake gently into the glass. Decorate after pouring so your garnish stays intact.
Shred the blonde or salted caramel chocolate finely, press it onto the edges, and add marshmallows and chocolate chips as you like. Finish with whipped cream, the remaining marshmallows, and dark chocolate chips or chocolate sauce. Serve cold with a straw.
Strawberry Banana Milkshake
Fresh and fruity, this strawberry banana milkshake is creamy, naturally sweet, and a little more refreshing than the dessert heavy options. Blend 1 cup hulled fresh strawberries, 1 ripe banana, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, and 1 cup milk until smooth and creamy.

Pour into two glasses, top with whipped cream if you like, and serve right away. This is my go to when the family wants a treat and I want something with real fruit in it.
Salted Caramel Milkshake
Salted caramel milkshake balances sweet and salty in the best way. It tastes fancy, but it could not be easier to make.
Blend 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup caramel sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds.

Drizzle a little caramel sauce inside your serving glass, pour in the milkshake, top with whipped cream, and finish with another drizzle of caramel. Serve immediately. That small pinch of sea salt is what keeps the whole thing from tasting too sweet.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake
Peanut butter and chocolate belong together. If you are a fan of that classic combo, this shake is your new best friend. Blend 2 cups chocolate ice cream, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

Pour into two glasses. Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup if you like, then serve immediately. It is rich, so two glasses go a long way.
Blueberry Cheesecake Milkshake
This blueberry cheesecake milkshake is creamy and tangy, and it gives you all the cheesecake flavor without turning on the oven. Add 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 cup vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup softened cream cheese to a blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top, and serve immediately. Those crumbs make it feel like a real slice of cheesecake.
Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake
Mint chocolate chip ice cream already has everything going for it, and this shake lets those chocolate chips shine. Blend 2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream and 1 cup milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses.

Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or chips on top if you like, then serve immediately. Trust me, the extra chocolate on top is worth it.
Coffee Milkshake
Coffee lovers, this one is for you. This coffee milkshake is creamy and rich with bold coffee flavor in every sip, so it works as an indulgent morning treat or an afternoon pick me up.

Blend 1 cup cooled brewed coffee, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, and 1/2 cup milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses, top with whipped cream, and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Serve immediately.
Raspberry Cheesecake Milkshake
Raspberry cheesecake milkshake pairs tangy raspberries with rich cheesecake flavor for a shake that balances tart and sweet. Blend 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Pour into two glasses, then top with whipped cream and a few extra raspberries if you like. Serve immediately. I like it best with frozen raspberries, since they keep the shake extra cold and thick.
Classic Vanilla Milkshake
Sometimes simple is best. This classic vanilla milkshake is creamy, smooth, and sweet with a clean vanilla flavor. It is lovely on its own, and it also makes a great base for whatever add ins you love.

Blend 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you like. Serve immediately.
Cookies and Cream Milkshake
Cookies and cream is a crowd pleaser for a reason. Blend 4 chocolate sandwich cookies, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, and 1 cup milk until smooth. Leave a few cookie chunks in there if you want texture in every sip.

Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and crushed cookies if you like. Serve immediately. This is the one my family asks for most often, and the glasses always come back empty.
Tropical Mango Milkshake
This tropical mango milkshake tastes like sunshine in a glass. Blend 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced, with 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon honey if you want a touch more sweetness.

Blend until smooth and creamy, pour into two glasses, and top with whipped cream if you like. Serve immediately. It is a great way to use up a ripe mango sitting on the counter.
Nutella Milkshake
Nutella fans, this is your shake. Blend 1/2 cup Nutella, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, and 1 cup milk until smooth and creamy.

Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if you like. Serve immediately. It tastes like a chocolate hazelnut dessert you can sip through a straw.
Caramel Swirl Milkshake
We finish with a caramel swirl milkshake, a creamy, caramel heavy drink for anyone who loves sweet, buttery caramel. Blend 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup caramel sauce until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if you like. Serve immediately.

From classic vanilla to fruity berry shakes and full on chocolate freakshakes, this collection of 15 creamy milkshake recipes has something for every kind of sweet tooth. Pick one, plug in the blender, and enjoy.
