How to Make Milkshakes

Add the milk and ice cream to the blender. For the best results, put in your milk first. That will get the blender mixing quickly. Editor’s Tip: Be sure to let your ice cream soften before scooping. If it’s too hard, you might end up having to add more milk, which thins the shake.

Puree the milkshake ingredients together until they become a smooth consistency. Editor’s Tip: The perfect consistency is totally up to your preference. Use less milk for a thicker, spoonable shake, or more for a thinner, sippable one.

Pour your milkshake into a chilled glass to serve. It tastes great straight-up or topped with a tower of whipped cream.
