Ingredients

3 tablespoons tahini smooth, runny
2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
2 –3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup to taste
2 large scoops vanilla ice cream or dairy-free alternative
1 small frozen banana optional, for creaminess
¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
1 pinch salt
Ice cubes as needed, for thicker consistency

Equipment

1 high-speed blender
1 Measuring cup
1 chilled serving glass

Method

Blend ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine tahini, milk, sweetener, vanilla ice cream, frozen banana (if using), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add ice: Add a few ice cubes for extra chill and texture, especially if not using frozen banana.
Blend until smooth: Blend for 30–60 seconds until creamy and fully combined.
Taste and adjust: Add more sweetener or tahini to taste. Blend again if needed.
Serve: Pour into chilled glasses and optionally top with a drizzle of tahini, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a thicker milkshake, use more ice or add extra frozen banana.
For a caffeine kick, blend in a shot of espresso for a Tahini Mocha Shake.
To keep it vegan, use plant-based milk and ice cream, and maple syrup as the sweetener.
