Making Milkshake - tips

Content

What you need

Mix your milkshake for one minute. If you use your blender, don't just turn on it repeatedly. Alternately turn the blender on and off and stir by hand with a spoon. This will create the same effect as using a milkshake mixer.

Whichever method you use (stirring drum, hand blender, professional shaker), make sure your shake is still thick. If you put a spoon in and lift it out, the thickened milkshake will stick slightly to the spoon.
If you like shakes with a little bit of lumpy pigments, just mix for 30-45 seconds.
If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk.
If the milk is too thin, add a teaspoon or two of the cream and mix well.

Pour your milkshake into a pre-cooled cup. If your milkshake has the necessary consistency and is just right, you will need a spoon to scoop it into. If the milkshake comes out too easily, the milk is too loose or has been over-mixed and you will need to add more cream.

Cover the top of the milkshake with a generous amount of whipped cream and 1 maraschino cherry. Or garnish with a bit of the ingredients of your choice (like a fresh strawberry for your strawberry shake).

Method 2 of 3: Choose Ingredients

Choose a high quality vanilla ice cream. For most shakes, the indispensable ingredient is vanilla ice cream, including a chocolate shake or a strawberry shake! The vanilla ice cream is just sweet enough, so when you add syrups or ingredients like cookies or candies, the milkshake won't get too sweet.
- Choose a thick cream. Choose two ice cream boxes of 2 different brands of the same size (half a liter, 1 liter…) and keep it in your hands. The box that feels heavier results in a better shakes.
- Lighter and more spongy ice cream boxes will contain more air bubbles. Mixing your shakes adds even more air, and your shakes won't be thick, smooth - just what you want with a milkshake. Choose a thicker cream instead of a lighter cream, so that the product contains less air bubbles.
- Of course you can use any ice cream flavor you want, you can skip vanilla ice cream if you want to experiment with other creams. If you want mint and chocolate shakes but you don't want mint extracts and shredded chocolate, go for mint ice cream.
Choose high quality milk. Whole milk is great for making a milkshake, as it has a richer flavor and will make the milkshake thicker. But you can also use skim milk, soy milk, or nut milk. Just keep in mind that these types of milk will be a bit looser so you need to add some milk or add a little cream.
- If possible, look for locally made, high quality milk. The better the quality of the ingredients you put in your shakes, the better your shake will be.
