How to Make a Milkshake + 4 Milkshake Recipes

But with Blendtec, you can do it! With these tips, you will learn how to make a thick milkshake that will taste even better than a bought one.
The following tips make it easy to blend thick milkshakes that are real winners. You can apply these tips to any flavor of milkshake. Make thick milkshakes to cool down on a hot summer day, or as a sweet treat after dinner. There is an endless amount of flavors that you can try.
Which Ice Cream Base Should You Use for Your Milkshake?
There is no one type of ice cream you should use for your milkshake. You can start with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or even coconut. If you’re unsure about which flavor to use, vanilla is always a safe option. It is an excellent base that will complement any other flavors you add.
No matter the base flavor, let the ice cream soften a little before you scoop it into the blender. The ice cream should be about the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. If you skip this step, you will probably end up adding too much milk to the recipe in order to soften the shake. Patience is essential for a yummy and perfectly thick milkshake.
When adding milk to the shake, always choose whole milk, which will make your shake thick, rich, and creamy. Add the milk slowly and test along the way to avoid using too much milk. For a simple vanilla shake, ice cream and milk is all it takes. No need for ice.
Tips: How to Make the Best Thick Milkshake
Once you have the correct ingredients, you’ll want to blend them together in your Blendtec on high for about 30 seconds. If you blend your milkshake for longer than that, it will start to get frothy.
Test the consistency while you blend the shake to make sure it is just right. If you accidentally add too much milk, add some softened ice cream to the blender to thicken the shake. Never add ice, which will water down the milkshake and make it thin.
Pour the thick milkshake into a chilled glass to keep your sweet treat colder for longer. Top it with whipped cream for the perfect finish, then stick a big straw inside so you can easily sip on it.
