What is the best way to make a milkshake? I can never get the

>>9065741
I always fuck it up.

>>9065741
use less milk or put it in the freezer for 5 minutes before you consume it

>>9065770
Putting it in the freezer usually doesn't solve much. What is your ice to ice cream ratio? Or do you just use ice cream?

>>9065741
Use real ice cream instead of store/cheap brands with shit ingredients.

Don't use low fat milk.

You can add some honey or maple syrup to thicken it up a bit.

>>9065741
You need a good blender or milkshake maker. If you're only using a cheap blender the ice cream will usually get stuck, so you have to wait for it to melt a bit or add more milk which makes it thinner than ones you would get from an ice cream shop or restaurant.

>>9065741
I have the exact same problem. Only thing I can think of is my blender isn't powerful enough.

Here's the answer in the form of a song.

Use half and half or even cream.
Use a premium ice cream. One with a high fat content.

What if I replace the ice with frozen fruit? I thought the thing that defined a milkshake was the milk.

Pulse the blender on low setting.

Remember that ice cream needs to be cold to maintain crystallization.

If you are letting the blades just go
Then the friction causes heat, which melts your crystals.

Or just add a thinkener like corn syrup, gelatin, xanathan or guar gum or something starchy.

Hardly put any milk in it. Milkshakes from good places are really 95% icecream if not 100% just melted slightly. Dont be that retard like people in this thread that do half icecream and half milk.

>>9066327
Unless you're adding something else that's thick.

I like to make milkshakes with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter, and if I don't add milk they come out like concrete.

>>9066327
Yeah but they usually have dedicated milkshake machines which work different from cheap blenders

I think what the issue is, is a normal blender transfers too much of the heat to the ice cream. So if you are going to use it you have to be quick. Compare it to an ice cream machine. Heat rises and all that.

That's how milkshakes are in Australia. You gotta ask for a thickshake.
