Today, we're learning a very important life lesson. In my opinion, How to Make a Milkshake should be taught in schools. We will go over exactly how to make them and how to further customize them, all using my special formula! So grab your blenders, your favorite ice cream flavor, and let's start mixing! I am trying so hard to be a fun ‘summer mom’ lately, even though I want some form of learning to continue over the summer months. My kids are getting their math lesson by practicing fractions while they make Mommy's Cinnamon Dolce Latte first thing in the morning. If the kids can measure out milk and cinnamon for my latte, then I think they deserve to learn the formula for how to make a milkshake! The formula below makes a perfect milkshake in any blender, of any flavor! Ingredients
After typing in ‘how to make a milkshake’ on my phone and being overwhelmed with results, I came up with my own plan. I decided to keep it really simple: just ice cream, a splash of milk and some fun, optional additions. I also made the executive decision to always keep the ingredients in my house for the remainder of the summer months. Soon, it will be pumpkin season, and these milkshake ingredients will remind us of our fun summer days. If you want something slightly fancy, try my Cheesecake Milkshakes! Basic Milkshake Recipe:The formula for how to make milkshakes is simple: 3 scoops of ice cream + 1 cup of milk. Anything else you want to add is entirely up to you!
Strawberry Milkshake Recipe:When I’m making a strawberry version, I like to toss in a handful of fresh strawberries to make it extra delicious. Fresh strawberries with 3 scoops of strawberry ice cream plus 1 cup of milk is perfect! Another fruity version is my Pineapple Milkshake made with roasted pineapple! Vanilla Milkshake Recipe:When I’m making a vanilla milkshake, I like to add 3 tablespoons of malted milk powder for that classic soda fountain flavor. So, it’s 3 scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream with one cup of milk, plus malted milk powder. Chocolate Milkshake Recipe:If I’m making a chocolate milkshake, I also add malt powder because my husband loves a good chocolate malt! This is why he loves my malted chocolate chip cookies, by the way. His perfect chocolate malt recipe is 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream with one cup of milk, plus malted milk powder. If I have chocolate milk in the fridge, I use that instead of plain milk to make it a double chocolate milkshake! A fun twist on a chocolate milkshake is a Smores Milkshake. If you can fit in a few extra steps, you won't be disappointed with that one. Variations
EquipmentWhile there are special milkshake gadgets, we always use our regular blender. It's a Vitamix, and it's just the best blender on the market. This is just my unpaid opinion based on decades of using alternate blenders. StorageThis always happens in my house: my kids can't finish their milkshake and they want to save it in the freezer for another day. The truth is, these are best enjoyed the same day. Once frozen, the milk turns icy and often thaws into more of a slush. This recipe is to make one at a time, and if you make a small batch, you shouldn't have leftovers. If you keep these milkshake ingredients in your freezer all summer long, you’re just minutes away from a smile on every face in your family! If you’re like me and enjoy things like this, keep these items stocked up in the freezer means you’ll have them on hand when you need them.
