A Berry Blast : Mcdonalds Milkshake Recipe Grimace Shake

There are several ways to make a Grimace Milkshake, as it wasn't a permanent menu item at McDonald's and didn't have a single official recipe. Based on online resources and fan interpretations, below we are sharing how you can create a delicious Grimace-inspired milkshake at home.

Ingredients for Grimace McDonalds Milkshake 

• 1 cup blueberries (fresh can be used, but frozen will create a thicker shake)
• 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh can be used, but frozen will create a thicker shake)
• 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk (recommended for creaminess)
• 1/3 tsp vanilla
• 1 pinch of sea salt (enhances the sweetness and berry flavors)
• 1/4 teaspoon blue spirulina (optional, for a deeper purple color)
• Fresh whipped cream
• Purple mixed sprinkles (optional for garnish)

Directions

1. Prep the ingredients: If using fresh berries, wash and dry them. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly so the blender can easily process them.
2. Soften the ice cream: Let the ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to blend.
3. Blend the berries: Add the frozen blueberries and raspberries to your blender and blend well to break them down completely. Strain the berries as well to remove seeds. 
4. Add remaining ingredients: Add the softened ice cream, milk, and any optional ingredients you choose to use.
5. Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
6. Taste and adjust: If your shake is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. If it's not sweet enough, add a little bit of sugar and blend again. If you want a stronger purple color, you can add the blue spirulina powder at this point and blend for a few seconds.
7. Serve and enjoy: Pour the milkshake into a serving glass, top with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles (optional), and enjoy your Grimace-inspired treat!

Tips

• You can adjust the amount of fruit and ice cream to your taste preference.
• If your shake is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of additional milk to thin it out.
• For a more intense berry flavor, you can use more blueberries and raspberries, or even add a touch of strawberry syrup.
• If you don't have blue spirulina, you can use a few drops of blue food coloring instead. However, be mindful of the amount you use, as it can easily overpower the taste.
• For a thicker milkshake, use less milk or freeze your banana slices beforehand (instead of ice cream) for a more natural sweetness.
• If you don't have fresh or frozen berries, you can use ½ cup berry jam instead. However, this will result in a sweeter milkshake.
• This recipe makes one serving. You can easily double or triple the recipe to serve more people.
