How to Make a Milkshake

Making a milkshake is extremely easy. They may be one of the easiest desserts to make. Essentially, all you need to do is blend the ingredients together until they are super smooth. Then you can pour the milkshake and enjoy!

While it may be super simple to make a milkshake, we do have a few pro tops to help you make the best milkshake possible. Take a look at our milkshake tricks.

1. Use a good blender- A high powered blender is key to making a smooth milkshake. If your blender isn’t strong, it will not puree the milkshake well. This means there may be chunks or pieces in your milkshake. Invest in a strong blender that is able to crush frozen ingredients. Check out our blender guide here to find the perfect blender for your home.
2. Let it blend- Don’t be afraid to let your milkshake blend for at least a minute. While it may look pureed right away, a little extra blending time will make the banana milkshake smooth and fluffy. Whipping all that air into the milkshake is key to it’s perfect texture!
3. Don’t use ice- Many milkshake recipes call for ice but ice melts and then waters down the shake. Skip the ice! Using frozen bananas and ice cream will make our banana shake cold and thick enough.
4. Freeze the fruit- Any fruit in a milkshake recipe should be frozen. This will give your milkshake a thick texture.

Milkshake Maker vs. Blender

If you really love milkshakes, you may want to invest in a milkshake maker or milkshake machine. Milkshake makers are usually made of stainless steel. They have a long mixing wand that whips the ingredients of a milkshake together.

Milkshake makers will not crush ice or puree frozen fruit. However, they do blend milk, ice creams, powders and liquids together really well.

The main benefit of a milkshake maker is that it is very safe to use. There are no sharp blades and usually work at the push of a button. Kids can easily learn to use a milkshake machine safely, enabling them to make their own dessert treats!

Milkshake makers keep milkshakes cold. The stainless steel cup insulates the ingredients while they blend. Blenders can get hot as they run and the heat from the motor can melt a milkshake. You won’t have this problem with a milkshake machine!

Malt vs Milkshake

Have you ever seen a malted milkshake on a menu? What is malt in milkshake? Well, it is a tasty ingredient that makes milkshakes super delicious.

Malted milk powder is barley malt powder with dry milk powder mixed in. Malted milk powder adds a creamy and milky taste to milkshakes. It makes the drink taste sweeter and gives a vanilla essence to any shake.

Add a scoop of malted milk powder to your milkshake to give it even more flavor.

Use chocolate malt powder or vanilla malt. Both will work well in a milkshake. A malted banana milkshake sounds pretty amazing…

Ingredients in a Banana Milkshake Recipe

Our banana milkshake is super easy to make. Here are the ingredients you will need to make a tasty banana shake.

• Frozen bananas- Frozen bananas add a creamy texture and great banana flavor to the milkshake. Freeze overripe bananas which have the most flavor. Keep a bag in your freezer so you are ready to make banana milkshakes anytime!
• Vanilla bean ice cream- Vanilla bean ice cream has tons of vanilla flavor. The small black vanilla bean specks are also very pretty when blended into the shake.
• Whole Milk- Whole milk is creamy and rich but also not too thick. It will help thin the milkshake slightly, making it a great texture.
• Vanilla Extract- A little extra vanilla enhances the flavor of the milkshake.
• Ground Cinnamon- Ground cinnamon goes well with the taste of bananas. Using cinnamon is optional and your banana milkshake recipe will be delicious without it. However, it adds a new level of flavor that will make your shake extra special.
• Whipped Cream- Topping any milkshake recipe with whipped cream is necessary. It is the perfect finishing touch to any milkshake and will make the shake picture perfect.
