What goes with burgers almost as well as fries? Milkshakes! And one of my favorite milkshakes happens to be blackberry so it was an easy decision to make this milkshake to go along with the burger I shared the other day.

I decided to make this milkshake lighter by using reduced fat milk and ice cream and I think it came out great, but feel free to use the high test versions. Just be sure to serve this with a wide straw or else the berries will clog it up!

One quick rant: Do you know what happens when you photograph a milkshake outside in 90+ temperatures? It melts and turns into flavored milk. Alas, another one of the perils of food blogging.

I’m also offering this up as part of a #NationalDairyMonth roundup of recipes this week. Check out the other dairy-centric recipes on display today below.

I’m digging that little bit of nutmeg in there. It’s one of my fave spices. I bet it tastes amazing with the blackberries.

Milkshakes are the best with burgers! And yes, they’re difficult to photograph…

I’ve never had a blackberry shake before but it sounds amazing! I always loved blackberry soft serve in the summer, so I can imagine I’d love a shake. And yes, melty frozen desserts in the summer — total blogger problems!
