You can also blend up ice, then use a lot of ice cream and flavouring syrup, powder etc and it comes out beautiful. Its really thick and viscous and creamy as the 'powdered' ice gives it a lot of air and thickness. It works a whole lot better than milk - ice cream, but you need a LOT of ice cream.
do some trial and error, he already mentioned a blender, just get a rough estimate in your head for time and power and have multiple attempts until you get the right one for you
Yes yes yes! Milkshakes should be thick enough to be ENJOYED WITH A SPOON! So many places do milkshakes wrong, even the ones to be "known" for their shakes. I'm talking about Sonics, Steak n Shake, Red Robin, Maggie Moos, Dairy Queen. Stop making liquidy milkshakes that melt in 2 minutes
Ur right, bro. If you add too little icecream and too much milk, u basically end up with a smoothie, not a milkshake. I do what you do, expect I CANNOT drink a milkshake unless its topped. I have to add some whip cream, a small cherry that doesnt way down the whip cream, and maybe some flavored syrup around the whip cream. Great tutorial, hope you can do more.
those don't actually contain milk they are melted and chilled confectioner's cream mixed with syrups. not saying that's a bad or good thing but they aren't really classified "milkshakes"
My aunt makes milkshakes so well. It's delicious...she just eyes all the amounts and its creamy...she adds like 4 scoops of ice cream, chocolate drizzle, ice and milk and its fine...
Try leaving out the vanilla, sweet cream shakes are great. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to do at home as there aren't that many places that sell plain ice cream.
From where I'm from we have milk shakes and thick shakes. I believe thick shakes are most tastier than milk shakes. If I was this guy's brother, I'd be so overweight considering these drinks look so good!!
At least you did display the proper style of machine needed for a milk shake. But I wish you had stressed that one of the things wrong is to use a common blender. That makes a tasty smoothie, but not a milk shake.
Love reading these comments on any of these videos. The people that complain about this video clearly have NO CLUE what they're talking about. When I think milkshake, that is exactly what I think. And when something sounds gross, it's probably because you kids have lousy pallets and won't venture out and try something new. Please grow up.
+Harvey Fox I am very well aware that people have opinions. This isn't about that. It's that whole "don't knock it 'til you try it", motto. If you don't want to try something, fine, but I don't have to give people credit who aren't willing to try new things; all on the premise that it 'sounds disgusting'. Give me a break.
Actually the original milkshake is thick... in my country we have this milkshake place called starr's original milkshake and it's as thick as this. they contain lots of vanilla ice cream
When I was a kid they used to put a very small amount of ice cream in it, with a little flavoring, a little malt (if u wanted) and bingo. Delicious. Mega thick consistency. I think the machine has a lot to do with how it tastes from my experience. Cheap machine, cheap taste You've got it ass end up dude. Can you imagine how much you'd pay for all that expensive ice cream if you were to buy one at your local store like in the old days? There goes your weeks allowance on one milk shake dopey. That concoction you've made is ice cream with a dash of milk. The ONLY thing you got right was to use full cream milk.
I get the nicest milk shake: 1 frozen banana (peeled before frozen) 1 scoop of protein powder (any flavour) 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (optional) 3 or 4 scoops of milk using the protein powder scoop Ice (optional)
Honestly, shakes are a waste of home made ice cream. You're probably not going to notice a difference unless you want to use a flavor that's not sold locally.
Any immersion blender should work. You don't necessarily need a dedicate milk shake mixer. Or at least that's what I do. I got a 350watt Ninja immersion blender, but I think most varieties work. It's important to have a blender that comes from the top, rather than the bottom as it gives you control over the blending that you won't get with the blades fixed to the bottom.
I use an immersion blender personally. It's the best of both worlds, I can use it to blend things that are too large for a blender, but I'm also not stuck with a device that just does milk shakes. I'm not sure that it's quite as good, but from when I've made shakes in the past, the difference is negligible with practice.
Milk Shake with Strawberrys instead of Sirup or sth like that would still be a BETTER Milk Shake If you only use Strawberrys and juice, you get a smoothie!
You could make an adult milkshake. Add 1.5 ounce of rum and 1.5 ounce of Kahlúa to vanilla ice cream and milk blend and put some whip cream on top! Beware! lightweights will get a buzz from it!
The reason why I don't make milkshakes at home is because they really are pretty expensive to make if your going to use an entire pint of ice cream and then add milk and then drink it. This video also didn't say anything about adding fruit like frozen bananas. A banana milkshake is a classic.
