How will this butterscotch shake make your life easier?

Great milkshakes can be hard to find, I’ve found, so here’s to making your own. This butterscotch milkshake is so easy and delicious. You can use store-bought butterscotch sauce or make your own.

If you want to make homemade butterscotch, make this PB Caramel and don’t add the peanut butter powder. This recipe is actually butterscotch because it’s made with brown sugar instead of white sugar.

Here are a couple other super easy dessert ideas: Biscoff Milkshake, Peanut Butter Chia Pudding, Halloween Candy Bark, and Oven S’Mores.

What makes this easy milkshake so good?

How do I make this shake?

Use store bought butterscotch sauce or make your own to add to your butterscotch milkshake. (use this Peanut Butter Caramel, just don’t add the peanut butter powder). Let it cool completely before adding to milkshake (so it won’t melt your ice cream).

Add 1 ½ cup vanilla ice cream, 1 Tablespoons* butterscotch sauce, and ¼ cup milk to high powered blender. Blend until smooth.

Drizzle butterscotch sauce in glass*, then pour butterscotch milkshake into glass. Top with fresh whipped cream and additional butterscotch sauce, if desired. Enjoy.

*add 1 Tablespoon butterscotch sauce to milkshake if drizzling extra butterscotch sauce in glass and on top. If you don’t add additional sauce, add 1-2 Tablespoons more sauce to blender.

*note: you will probably have small ribbons of unblended butterscotch in your shake. I wasn’t able to get the butterscotch completely blended into the ice cream and milk when testing. It’s a nice treat at the end of your butterscotch milkshake though!

Substitutions/Tips

• You can substitute the butterscotch sauce for caramel sauce too, butterscotch just has a deeper and slight molasses flavor compared to caramel.
• Substitute butterscotch sauce for about 2 Tablespoons butterscotch chips. The flavor may be different and you’ll probably have flecks of butterscotch in your shake, but that’s not a bad thing!
• This would also be delicious blended into chocolate or caramel ice cream.
• Other great add-ins: Oreo cookies, chocolate chips, or Biscoff cookies.
