Today, we are paying tribute to one of the best movies of the ’90’s…Pulp Fiction!! It’s actually my favorite movie right up there with Forrest Gump and Dazed and Confused. Because for me, it’s all about that soundtrack, baby!!

I’m not gonna go through the whole movie, but I will tell you that the plot consists of four different tales that are seemingly unrelated, but ultimately entwined together. I will warn you that it is non-linear, so if you are like me, you may have to watch it more than once to really get it. One of the most iconic scenes is the dinner date between Vincent and Mia. It is there in that ’50’s retro diner that pop culture history was made.

Trust me! Just go watch it…

This recipe is only two ingredients…just milk and ice cream.  Simple, right?  I’ve compiled a few tips to help you get the perfect milkshake.

Tip #1 Don’t skimp on your ice cream! The ice cream is the main character so make sure to choose the highest quality available. It’s also better to go with a full fat flavor, as well. This will ensure you get a thick and creamy texture.

But I’m not the milkshake police!! You can use a low-fat flavor or even frozen yogurt, just know that the end product is going to be thinner.

Tip #2 Use full-fat milk. Just like with the ice cream, a lower fat milk is going to create a thinner consistency. A lower fat milk is also going to create more ice within the milkshake, as well.

Tip #3 Let your ice cream soften. Let me repeat that…soften, not melt. Set your ice cream on the counter for about 10 to 15 minutes before you make your milkshakes. Your blender will thank you for it.

Tip #4 Don’t be shy when it comes to topping off your milkshake. Whipped cream and cherry is so classic, but just about any ice cream topping will do. Try mixing it up with some fine espresso powder for your next coffee fix or make it a little boozy with some bourbon or rum. Get creative!

Tip #5 Don’t overblend. Be cautious not to overblend the milkshake, as this can lead to a thin and watery consistency. Blend just until all ingredients are combined and the shake is smooth.

What do you like on your milkshake??
