To make a classic milkshake, you need just two main ingredients: ice cream and milk. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
Ingredients
- About 3 to 5 scoops of full-fat ice cream (approximately 1 ¾ to 2 cups)
- ¼ to ½ cup of milk (whole milk is best for creaminess)
Instructions
- Let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make scooping easier.
- Add the ice cream to a blender.
- Pour in the milk. Adding the milk first can help the blending process.
- Blend on low speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk quantity if you want a thinner or thicker shake.
- Pour the milkshake into a glass.
- Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry on top.
Tips
- Use high-quality, full-fat ice cream for the creamiest texture.
- Avoid adding ice, as it will water down the milkshake.
- You can customize your milkshake by adding flavors like chocolate syrup, fruit, or cookies before blending.
- For an extra creamy shake, you can substitute milk with heavy cream.
- To keep your milkshake cold longer, chill your glass in the freezer before serving.
This method yields a perfectly balanced milkshake that is creamy but drinkable through a straw
