When making this recipe I was generous with the cherries, & used frozen vanilla yogurt instead of the ice cream! Also used just the half cup of club soda & a bit more chocolate syrup, all for A GREAT TASTING SHAKE that we'd love to have again & again during the hot summer months!

Tagged in 123. I did not make this sugar-free. Plus, I used evap. milk bcz I was out of milk. I had to pit my frozen cherries! Used a little honey and Breyer's all natural vanilla ice cream with just a little seltzer to make it blend easier. I thought adding more would thin it out too much. The cherry flavor was a little overpowered by the ice cream, I think, so I might add more cherries next time. The choc. was a crowning touch.

Delicious shake! Not quite as thick as desired so I increased the ice cream. When the shake was almost gone I realized (oops) that I'd forgotten to add the Splenda. Oh well...this shake didn't need it. Thanks for the yummy treat and good luck!

My DH and I had this for a snack today. He and I both loved it! I did use whole milk and club soda. Thanks! Good luck!

Very yummy shake. My oldest DS and I thought it was fantastic, but my DD wasn't quite so sure, but that's probably because she's not really that fond of chocolate covered cherries. At any rate, I will definitely make this over and over again. It was wonderful. Thanks for creating this naturally gluten free desert!!!!
