A milkshake is a rich, creamy ice cream treat that pairs perfectly with a burger or fries, or can be enjoyed as a cool dessert on its own. This article will teach you to make an amazing basic milkshake, plus ideas for some fun and tasty alternatives to the classic recipe.
Cook time (blending): 1 minute
3 scoops of vanilla (or flavor of choice) ice cream
2 oz (60 ml) milk
Chocolate, strawberry, or caramel syrup (optional)
1 candy bar, chopped into small pieces (optional)
Let your ice cream soften to the consistency of soft-serve.
The ideal temperature for milkshake-ready ice cream is 20°F (-7°C) and your freezer will probably keep it at about 0°F (-18°C). Allow the ice cream to sit out on the counter for a few minutes to soften.
If you toss your ice cream into the mixer
when it's too cold and hard
, you may will end up adding too much milk to thin it out.
Too much milk will make your shake runny.
Choose a high-quality vanilla ice cream.
For almost every type of milkshake, you will begin with a base of vanilla ice cream, even chocolate and strawberry shakes! The vanilla ice cream is just sweet enough that the addition of flavored syrups or ingredients like cookies or candy won't make the milkshake overly sweet.
Look for a high-density ice cream. Choose two brands of ice cream that are the same size (a pint, a quart, etc.) and hold one in each hand. The one that feels heavier will make the better milkshake.
Ice creams that are lighter and fluffier contain more air. When you mix the milkshake you'll be introducing even more air, and won't get the thick, creamy consistency you want in a milkshake. Go for the dense ice cream over the extra-churned ice cream so you'll start out with less air.
Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, and 1 oz (30 ml) malt powder to the blender.
Look for malt powder, not instant malted milk or liquid malt flavoring. Malt powder provides the most authentic taste.
Add 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and about 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of chocolate syrup to the blender.
Look for a chocolate sauce with a high cocoa unit for the best flavor.
Use 1 cup hulled strawberries or 2 oz strawberry syrup, plus 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add 3 cookies of your choice (crumble them up a little in your hand first) to a blender with 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 oz (1/4 cup or 60 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
