Notes

  • Chill the glasses: Cold glasses help the shake stay colder for the first few minutes after pouring. This recipe makes enough for two large milkshakes or four smaller ones.
  • Use ripe berries: Very tart blackberries may need extra sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
  • Strain for smoothness: Strain the blackberry and milk mixture before adding the rest of the ingredients if you don’t want seeds in the shake.
  • Scrape the blender sides: Blackberry pieces can cling near the top of the blender, so scrape the sides down with a spatula before the final blend.
  • Serve straight away: The ice melts as the shake stands, so pour it as soon as the texture is smooth and enjoy immediately.
