Cinnamon Roll Milkshake

This American-inspired milkshake combines ice cream, milk, and torn cinnamon roll pieces for a dessert drink with a bakery texture. It is blended briefly so some small pastry bits remain, then topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Cinnamon Roll Milkshake

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 300 g vanilla ice cream slightly softened
  • 240 ml whole milk cold
  • 120 g cinnamon roll cut into 2 cm pieces
  • 5 ml vanilla extract none
  • 0.5 g ground cinnamon for blending and garnish
  • 60 g ice optional, for a thicker shake
  • 60 g whipped cream for topping
  • 0.5 g ground cinnamon for blending and garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, cinnamon roll pieces, vanilla extract, and 0.5 g of the ground cinnamon to the blender. If you want a thicker shake, add the ice as well. The blender jar is loaded and the cinnamon roll pieces are distributed through the ice cream.
  2. Blend on low first, then increase to medium and stop as soon as the shake is thick and mostly smooth, with a few small cinnamon roll flecks remaining; do not overblend or it will become thin. The mixture pours slowly and still shows tiny pastry bits.
  3. Divide the shake between two glasses, top each with whipped cream, and finish with the remaining 0.5 g of ground cinnamon. The glasses are full, the whipped cream sits on top, and the cinnamon is visible as a light dusting.
