There’s still a couple weeks of warm weather left and what better way to soak up the sun than with a frosty milkshake, at home. But what makes a good milkshake and how can someone at home re-create something as thick and delicious as they’d get at a restaurant?
Chef Brett Reichler’s Tips for the Perfect Milkshake at Home
Put your glass in the freezer to get a nice chill on it.
Make sure your ice cream is tempered, soft but not runny. This step is key — if the ice cream is too hard, you’ll add too much milk and thin it out, diluting the concentration of the ice cream. You can also use frozen yogurt and low-fat ice cream.
Take three hearty scoops of your favorite ice cream, add two ounces of milk and any flavorings you want (chocolate syrup, candy or cookie pieces). Do not add ice as it will just water it down. If you like your milkshakes thinner, add more milk.
If you’re adding cookies to your milkshake, Brett recommends adding three roughly crushed cookies to the ice cream.
- Top it with whipped cream and additional cookies/candy if you desire.
*If you want to make a grownup milkshake, skip the milk and just add your liquor of choice — just a splash will do.
