What is Milkshake?
Milkshake is a popular and one of the simplest drinks mostly loved by all age groups. This drink is not only easy to make but is also easily customizable. You can use your favorite flavor ice creams, mixins, and toppings of your choice. And the best part is it comes all together in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
The ingredients that you will need are pretty basic and you don't need fancy equipment too.
- Milk - I have used the whole milk which helps in achieving the creamiest drink and I recommend it to achieve the same. But you can also feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk to enjoy this drink.
- Ice cream - I have used vanilla ice cream for a classical milkshake flavor but you can use the preferred ice cream of your choice
- Whipping cream- I have topped the drink with whipping cream and is totally optional to use it
You can also garnish with your favorite toppings like chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, or some chocolate shavings
How to make a Milkshake?
To prepare the drink, 1½ cup of whole milk and add 1 cup of ice cream to the blender jar. I have used refrigerated milk which is best for this drink and helps in achieving a creamy and frothy milkshake.
Now place the jar in the blender and process it for 1 minute at medium speed. After a minute the mixture would have turned nice thick creamy drink.
And it is now ready to taste and enjoy. Finally, pour the milkshake into the serving glass and top it with whipped cream and sprinkles of your choice.
Tips
- Always use cold whole milk for a perfectly thick and creamy milkshake
- Keep the ice cream at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes once they are out from the freezer. This helps the ice cream to soften and help in easy blending with the milk
- You can also make this drink without a blender by just mixing the ice cream into the milk until they combine
- Make sure not to use ice cubes while blending the milk and ice cream which makes the drink thin and watery
- Always make sure not to substitute milk with heavy whipped cream which starts to turn butter when blended
- I have topped this drink with whipping cream and some red sprinkles and you can also use chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, and other toppings of your choice
- If you choose to use mixins like cookies, nuts, or choco bites, blend them for 30 to 40 seconds once you have processed the milk and ice cream
- You can also use dairy-free ice cream and milk to make this drink
