HOW TO MAKE MILKSHAKES

MILKSHAKES

Deliciously sweet and pleasantly fresh: no one can resist a milkshake. But how to make a perfect milkshake and creamy oneself? And apart from the classic banana and strawberry milkshakes, are there other milkshake recipes?

THE SECRETS OF A GOOD MILKSHAKE

The basic ingredients are ice cream, milk and possibly fruit. Do not force them, however, you may end up with a smoothie.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes in advance to make it smoother. If you use too hard ice, you will need to add too much milk to make it more liquid, and your milkshake will be too light.

Test yourself the milk-ice ratio you prefer. With 1 measure of milk for 1.5 parts of ice, you are sure not to go wrong. Be careful of the fruits that can dilute your milkshake.

Use ice cream to get a thick and creamy milkshake. You want to prepare a milkshake without ice? Try with banana or yoghurt (iced). Another tip is to use frozen fruits to thicken your preparation. You will then give it creaminess with whole milk.
Your milkshake is too thick? Add milk! Do not use ice cubes, which would drown the taste.

Presentation tip: put the glasses in the freezer a little before filling them. So your milkshake will stay fresh longer.

MAKING A MILKSHAKE WITHOUT BLENDER, IT IS POSSIBLE?

Ice cream, fruit, milk: in a blender, everything disappears in the blink of an eye to turn into milkshake unctuous. But how to make a milkshake if you do not have a blender on hand?

With a good fork and a strong whip, you'll get there too. Crush the fruit first, then add the ice cream and milk. Beat it with the whip.
You do not have a blender but a diver mixer? It works too.
There are special shakers in which you can mix all the ingredients by shaking them energetically.

INVENT YOUR OWN MILKSHAKE

The milkshake offers you infinite possibilities, you just have to give free rein to your imagination. The classic milkshakes banana and / or strawberry or the simple vanilla milkshake are of course delicious, but do not hesitate to test other tastes and ingredients.
