Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Vanilla ice cream: Provides the creamy base, sweetness and body of the shake.
Milk: Adds liquid so the blend moves smoothly and the shake is thinner.
Frozen mixed berries: Supply fruity flavour, acidity and colour, and their cold firmness thickens the shake.
Chocolate vanilla creme cookies: Add crunchy texture and chocolate-vanilla flavour to the blended shake.
