How to make a milkshake

Ingredients

Ice cream
Milk
Mix-ins – syrups, spreads, extracts, fresh fruit
Toppings – whipped cream, nuts, chocolate, sweets, biscuits, popcorn, sprinkles, cherries

To make a classic milkshake, simply blend ice cream and milk together with any extra mix-ins. Add more or less milk and ice cream for your desired texture, but we recommend a rough ratio of two parts milk to one part ice cream.

Try adding ingredients like berries, chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter or salted caramel. Cover with toppings like whipped cream and sprinkles.

Chocolate milkshake

Go all out with this next level chocolate masterpiece. Drizzle hazelnut chocolate spread on the inside of glasses, fill with milkshake (blended chocolate ice cream and milk) and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, toasted hazelnuts and a little more chocolate spread. Chocolate heaven.
