Butterscotch Blondie Milkshake

This Butterscotch Blondie Milkshake is like sipping dessert through a straw—creamy, rich, and packed with chunks of chewy blondie brownies. I first made this for a summer BBQ, and it disappeared faster than the burgers!

The caramel swirls and butterscotch sauce take it to another level of indulgence. Perfect for when you want something sweet but don’t want to fuss with baking a whole batch of blondies.

Background

Blondies—the caramel-kissed cousin of brownies—pair perfectly with butterscotch in this milkshake. The combination dates back to soda fountain classics but gets a modern upgrade with thick, homemade texture.

Ingredients

Makes 2 generous servings.

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce
• 1 cup blondie brownies, cubed
• 2 tbsp caramel sauce
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Equipment

• High-speed blender
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tall serving glasses
• Spoon

Instructions

1. Blend the base: In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, butterscotch sauce, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Tip: For a thicker shake, freeze the glass for 10 minutes first.

2. Add blondie chunks: Add half the blondie cubes and pulse 2-3 times to incorporate chunks. Tip: Don’t over-blend—you want visible blondie pieces!

3. Layer caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce inside serving glasses, then pour in the milkshake. Tip: Swirl the caramel with a spoon for a marbled effect.

4. Garnish and serve: Top with whipped cream, remaining blondie cubes, and extra butterscotch drizzle. Tip: Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.

Tips for the Best Butterscotch Blondie Milkshake

• Use store-bought blondies or bake a batch ahead for extra freshness.
• For a stronger caramel flavor, swap half the butterscotch sauce with dulce de leche.

Variations

Make It Your Own

• Salted Caramel Twist: Add 1/4 tsp sea salt to the blender and use salted caramel sauce.
• Adult Version: Add 1 oz bourbon with the milk for a boozy kick.

Dairy-Free Version

Swap vanilla ice cream for coconut milk ice cream, use oat milk, and opt for vegan caramel sauce.

Protein Version

Add a scoop of vanilla or butterscotch-flavored protein powder with the milk.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with extra blondie squares on the side for dipping, or serve in mason jars with colorful straws.

Storage

Best enjoyed immediately. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 24 hours—thaw slightly and re-blend before serving.
