Making A Good Milkshake

[feralkid]

Milkshake mixer>blender.

Results are far superior.

for a truly rich, creamy milkshake, even 1:1 is too much milk.

5-6 scoops of bryers vanilla ice cream, and let it sit for ~10-15 minutes (depending on ambient temp) when it gets just slightly melty, add a splash or two of milk and anything else you're going to add, then blend.

This is more or less how you make a "classic" wendy's frosty at home. slightly melty ice cream, splash of milk, and nestle quick powder. in the past few years or so, wendy's has started adding some ice to cut it down, so add a few ice cubes for a "contemporary" frosty.

Get a quality ice cream mixer.

A blender acts differently.

You actually can have better lick using a hand mixer than with a blender.

For flavor; try to add pure extract and/or fruit/juice

Chillling the container is psychological more than anything.

Since when is wendys the milkshake bible? 5-6 scoops is an insane amount. Perhaps if you are making two milkshakes? 1.5 - 3 scoops is normal for 1 milkshake.

Icecream, milk, ice, blender. I'll usually toss in some appropriate fruit too.

no ice.

Either you are not blending long enough or your blender is lacking quality. How does it taste?

I like the ice. Just a little. When I'm doing a full blender, I fill 1/4 full with ice, toss a half gallon of ice cream in, blend for a bit to settle it down then add fruit and top off with milk, usually ends up being around a cup or so of milk.

My blender kicks butt. It's one I liberated from a restaurant I worked at many years ago. 🙂

I've seen those, but nobody makes them for my european blender. (I forget the name of it.) So I suffer along with my oldest and dullest blade for this function.

Half and Half instead of Milk FTW!!!

I used to bartend and this is what is used!

I never said it was. It was just a random bit of trivia on how you can modify the basic recipie to be like a frosty.

It makes one pretty large milkshake or two small ones. it's less milk, more ice cream than a normal milkshake - I never said it was healthy.
