This watermelon milkshake is SO easy to make—  Just three ingredients and a blender are all you need for this incredibly delicious summer treat.

Two of Summer’s Best Got Blended… And the results are AMAZING!

It’s no exaggeration – watermelon is my ultimate summer fruit, and milkshakes are my year-round favorite! So, blending them together? You get the best of both worlds! This watermelon dessert has quickly become my favorite way to enjoy both. Seriously, it’s THAT good!

Just imagine the creamy vanilla ice cream blended with watermelon’s sweet, juicy, and subtly fruity flavor. The ice cream takes that watermelon goodness to a new level of creamy sweetness!

How to Make a Watermelon Milkshake

All you need for this incredible summer dessert recipe? Just cubed watermelon, vanilla ice cream, and a dollop of whipped cream, if you’re feeling extra. That’s honestly it!

To make a watermelon milkshake, toss 4 cups of cubed seedless watermelon into your blender and blend it into juice. Then, add 12 scoops of vanilla ice cream and blend again until it’s perfectly smooth and creamy.

Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream, and add a watermelon slice for a cute garnish.

    How many shakes does this make? 12 scoops of ice cream is ALOT. Recipe doesn’t say.

    Also, does the watermelon need to be frozen?
