  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

  • Maraschino cherries and freshly whipped cream (optional)

Directions

  4. 4
    Put 1/2 cup milk, ice cream, and hot fudge in blender and blend until thick and creamy, stopping to push down the ice cream if necessary. Add more ice cream or milk to thicken / loosen, as necessary.
  5. 5
    Pour into frosted glasses and top each with cherry and whipped cream (if using). Serve with long-handled spoon and straw.
