Making a good milkshake at home?

[Fritzo]

Good rule of thumb:

3 cups icecream to 1 cup milk.

Most people put too much milk in.

Dammit. Now I have to make a milkshake.

How do they taste with skim milk?

Not too bad actually. I make them with skim milk on occasion when I'm back home and they usually turn out pretty well.

Too much milk, imo. But then I like 'em chewy.

Yup, soft ice cream with just a little bit of milk.

There's a Klondike bar in my freezer that started softly calling my name...

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

EDIT: Bah. Either make sundaes (here's a fantastic strawberry sauce) or use a bit of lecithin.

LOL Thanks

Great ideas in this thread. I've always wondered about the blades in blenders because they are obviously different than the blades used on dedicated milkshake mixers. I suspect this has a lot to do this texture. I'll have to expiriment with some things including lecithin or malt power.

I was driving across town the other day after posting this thread and saw a chic-fil-a up ahead. I quickly pulled over and got a strawberry shake. For a fast food joint they make pretty tasty milkshakes.

Come on y'all, go get yo'self a milkshake ASAP.
