Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 10 chocolate-covered pretzels
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
How To Make Chocolate Pretzel McFlurry?
- Blend the ice cream and milk: Add vanilla ice cream and milk to a blender and mix until smooth.
- Add pretzels and caramel sauce: Crush the pretzels slightly and add them to the blender with 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce.
- Pulse to combine: Blend briefly, just enough to mix the ingredients. Don’t overmix—keep the pretzels crunchy.
- Serve and garnish: Pour into a glass and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce on top.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Soft Ice Cream for Easy Blending: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending. This makes it easier to mix without overworking the blender.
- Crush the Pretzels Lightly for the Best Texture: Don’t blend them too much—bigger chunks add a nice crunch, just like the McFlurry from McDonald’s.
- Chill the Glass Before Serving: Put your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before pouring the McFlurry. This helps keep it thick and creamy for longer.
- Use High-Quality Caramel Sauce: A thicker caramel sauce gives a richer flavor and better drizzle on top. Avoid thin or runny caramel, as it will mix in too quickly.
- Blend in Short Bursts to Avoid Overmixing: Just pulse the blender a few times to mix everything. If you blend too much, the ice cream will melt, and the pretzels will lose their crunch.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: This McFlurry is best enjoyed fresh and does not store well in the fridge. The ice cream will melt, making it too soft and runny.
- Freeze: If you want to save leftovers, pour the McFlurry into an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 day.
