Scale
For the Crust:
- For the milkshake:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1. Prepare the Crust:

- 6. Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest and a maraschino cherry if desired.
- 7. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk ice cream and almond milk. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less orange juice. For an extra creamy texture, freeze the glass for 10 minutes before serving.
