To make a basic milkshake, you need just two main ingredients: ice cream and milk. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
- Add about 3 to 5 scoops of full-fat ice cream to a blender. Full-fat ice cream gives the creamiest texture.
- Pour in about 1/4 to 1 cup of milk, depending on how thick or thin you want the milkshake. Whole milk or milk with higher fat content will make it creamier.
- Blend on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the milkshake into a glass.
- Optionally, top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry for garnish.
Tips:
- Let ice cream soften at room temperature for about 5 minutes to scoop easily.
- Avoid adding ice, as it waters down the shake.
- For extra creaminess, you can substitute milk with heavy cream.
- You can customize flavors by adding ingredients like chocolate syrup, fresh or frozen fruit, or vanilla extract before blending
This basic formula can be adapted for different flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, or banana milkshakes by adding corresponding syrups or fruits
