Popsicles and icies are good, but when you want something great you need to grab some ice cream, milk, and your favorite mix-ins to make a killer milkshake. This summer, if you want to make a frozen treat that will bring all the kids (and grownups!) to the yard, try one of these 5 milkshake recipes. I guarantee results. I can’t promise as much for your dancing.

Key lime is one of my favorite flavors, and I’ve been curious about key lime-flavored marshmallows for a while now. I know that goes against all my natural food tendencies but, you know, everything in moderation. That is, if you consider the Key Lime Milkshake (above) from My Baking Addiction moderation. I do, and there’s no point trying to argue otherwise with me.

A Nutella Milkshake? Why, yes, thank you! (You guys may know my feelings about Nutella.) It’s so perfect in its simplicity. Julie from The Little Kitchen uses frozen yogurt, but I say go for ice cream if that’s how you roll.
