This is a basic recipe for making your own freshly whipped cream. You can halve, double, or triple this recipe depending on how many milkshakes you are making. Figure on about 1/4 cup per shake. Also, you can add other flavorings and extracts. Just make sure that the heavy cream is really cold to get the best volume.
