How to Make Banana Split Milkshake

Ingredients:

2 large bananas, sliced and frozen
1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 scoops strawberry ice cream
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions:
Step 1: Make the Milkshake. In a blender, add half of the frozen bananas, strawberry ice cream, strawberries, and 1/2 cup milk. Blend until smooth.

Gently pour this vanilla layer over the strawberry layer.

Step 2: Decorate & Serve. Pipe or spoon whipped cream generously on top of the milkshake. Drizzle chocolate sauce and peanut butter over the whipped cream.

How to Serve Banana Split Milkshake

Serve your Banana Split Milkshake in tall glasses with colorful straws. It’s great to enjoy right away, but you can also serve it with extra toppings on the side so everyone can add their favorites!

How to Store Banana Split Milkshake

Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for a few hours. After that, the milkshake may lose some of its creamy texture. Stir well before drinking, or you can blend it again to get a smooth consistency.

Tips to Make Banana Split Milkshake

For a thicker shake, use less milk.
Try adding other fruits like blueberries or cherries for a fun twist.
If you want it extra sweet, adjust the amount of honey or sugar to your taste.
Use vegan ice cream and milk to make it dairy-free.

Variation

Feel free to switch up the ice cream flavors! Chocolate ice cream or mint chocolate chip can be great options. You can also add different toppings like crushed cookies or other nuts.
