Milkshake has been loved by many children and adults since Soviet times. And in the modern world, it is not difficult to enjoy such a treat, because it is offered by many cafes and fast food restaurants. And in order to cook it deliciously at home, you need to take into account several nuances.
It is necessary
- - Milk with a fat content of up to 2.5%;
- - High quality creamy ice cream (Sundae);
- - Fresh fruits (mango, strawberry, banana, etc.);
- - Chocolate chips;
- - Whipping cream;
- - Mixer or blender with a whisk attachment.
Instructions
Step 1
To make your homemade milkshake tasty, thick, with airy foam, the most important thing is to choose high-quality ice cream. Moreover, the fatter it is, the better the cocktail will beat. And the fat content of milk, on the contrary, should not exceed 2.5%. In this case, the amount of ice cream should be taken no more than the amount of milk.
Step 2
Fruits can be added to add new flavors to the cocktail. An important nuance: their mass should be no more than 1/5 of the mass of milk. The choice of fruit is also worth considering. Citrus fruits, for example, do not go well with milk. But berries - strawberries, currants, raspberries, as well as bananas and mangoes are perfect.
Step 3
The next thing that directly affects the thickness of the dessert drink is the temperature of the milk, which should be as cold as possible. Indeed, when you combine warm milk with ice cream, the latter will quickly melt, and the cocktail will turn out to be quite liquid, and its taste will leave much to be desired.
Step 4
Dishes and appliances also matter. The best way to beat the cocktail is either with a mixer or a blender with a whisk attachment. But if you choose the second option, it is important that the dishes in which the ingredients will be placed are long and narrow.
Step 5
Now let's look at a few recipes for a milkshake. For a start - a classic cocktail. You will need:
- creamy ice cream (you can take vanilla) - 100 g;
- milk - 300 ml.
Take ice cream, place it in a whipping bowl and mash with a spoon. Then add milk and beat for 2 minutes at maximum speed. Pour the finished cocktail into glasses. If desired, you can decorate it with chocolate chips.
Step 6
In order to make a thick banana milkshake, you will need:
- 300 g of milk;
- 100 g of ice cream;
- 1 banana.
- if desired, you can add 1 tablespoon of liquid honey or any other syrup.
Peel the banana, cut into slices and use a hand blender to puree it. Add ice cream, honey (syrup) and milk. Whisk until smooth, first at low speed to stir all the ingredients evenly, and then at full speed to form a thick foam. Whisk for about 3 minutes. Pour the finished cocktail into glasses. This recipe is good because it almost always turns out, no matter what technique and what bowl was used.
Step 7
A gourmet dessert - a milkshake with whipped cream. To prepare such a drink you will need:
- cream with a fat content of 33% - 70 ml;
- milk - 200 ml;
- ice cream - 200 ml;
- whipped cream in a spray can (for decoration).
Put the softened ice cream in a bowl for whipping, pour in cold milk with cream and beat until smooth for 1.5 minutes, until the mass thickens and increases in volume 1.5 times. Gently pour the finished dessert into portions and garnish with whipped cream from a can.
