Read on for everything you need to know to create your dream milkshake right at home:

What if I don’t have a blender?
No problem—it’s actually easier to make a milkshake without a blender than you may think. You can use a food processor, but if you don’t have one of those, you can try it by hand! Add your ice cream and milk to a large bowl, and use a rubber spatula to stir until the milk is incorporated and then pour into a glass. It won’t be quite the same consistency as a blended milkshake, but if you’re in a pinch, it’ll work.
