Vanilla Milkshake – 2 ways
Vanilla Milkshake with icecream – This is a classic combination of just blending chilled milk along with sugar , vanilla icecream and vanilla essence. Vanilla Milkshake without icecream – This is slightly a low fat version replacing icecream. Freeze 2 cups of milk overnight until fully frozen then add it along with milk, vanilla essence a little more of sugar and blend until thick and creamy.
Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients
Milk : Use full fat milk especially for milkshakes to get creamy smooth shake just as in restaurants. Boil cool down then chill the milk. Icecream : I have used vanilla icecream here. If you do not want to use icecream then freeze 2 cups milk and add it while blending replacing icecream. Vanilla essence : Though we use vanilla icecream I use a dash of vanilla essence or extract to get the punch. But if you don’t have vanilla essence then just skip it and use just vanilla icecream. Sugar : Though sugar is optional iI love to add it.

Expert Tips
Always add fullfat milk for milkshakes. Make sure milk is boiled before use. Add chilled milk and icecream to make the shake chill. Also you can refrigerate the shake for few mins to make it chilled. Do not add icecubes as it will dilute and make the shake watery. Though adding sugar is optional, I recommend adding it. Add only 1/4 cup milk if you prefer a very thick milkshake. Thin the shake by adding in more milk. If you want thick milkshake add more scoops of icecream. If your milk is too watery simmer for few mins to make it thick then use the milk. I used cows milk, you can use regular packet or carton milk too.
Variations
You can make vanilla milkshake with or without icecream as per your preference. Check out tips for more details on making vanilla milkshake without icecream. You can add chopped nuts and dryfruits to get a more rich nutty vanilla milkshake. Add fresh cream if you are not using icecream to make the shake more rich and creamy. If you do not have vanilla essence just skip and add just vanilla icecream only. You can add 2 tablespoon vanilla custard to make vanilla milkshake for a variation.
Topping Ideas
Top it up with nuts and dry fruits if you like. You can add a scoop of vanilla icecream with a syrup drizzle of your choice. Caramel syrup and chocolate syrup suits best. If you like strawberry flavour drizzle strawberry sauce and serve. You can add whipped cream with sprinkles. Topping and garnish is fully your preference, you can even add chocolate chips or cut fresh fruits.
