Notes
-
For a thicker milkshake, use frozen banana slices and reduce the amount of milk.
-
You can use either banana or vanilla pudding—combining both adds more depth of flavor.
-
Crushed vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or even Biscoff cookies make great mix-ins or toppings.
-
Want to make it dairy-free? Use oat milk, coconut whipped cream, and dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
-
For an adult twist, add a splash of banana liqueur or bourbon.
-
Store leftover milkshake in the freezer for up to 24 hours and re-blend before serving.
-
Don’t skip the toppings—whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and banana slices really complete the shake.
-
You can prep banana slices and pudding ahead of time to make shake assembly even faster.
