Key Lime Milkshake Ingredients
- Milk: Whole milk helps thin the milkshake yet keeps it creamy. You can use heavy cream for a thicker shake or skim milk for a thinner shake.
- Ice Cream: We used vanilla ice cream, but French vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream would also work.
- Lime Juice: You can use lime juice or key lime juice to make this shake.
- Food Coloring: We added a little green food coloring to enhance the green color in the shake, but it is optional.
- Garnish: Top the lime shakes with graham crackers, whipped cream, and lime slices.
How To Make A Lime Milkshake
Put the milk, lime juice, vanilla ice cream, and food coloring into the blender.
Blend until smooth, and then pour the milkshake into two glasses. Top each one with graham crackers crumbs, whipped cream, and key lime slices.
