Summer is synonyms to milkshakes at our home. We all love thick shakes that are creamy and rich. Yum, just perfect for summer 🙂 While I make various types of milkshakes like carrot milkshake, almond milkshake, chocolate milkshake, I find myself going back to this classic vanilla milkshake every now and then. It is in fact a very close competitor to our another favorite mango milkshake.

I have fond memories of gulping vanilla milkshake during Summer vacation while growing up. We would just blend chilled milk, vanilla ice cream and extract along with loads of ice cubes in our sumeet mixer grinder. The servings were unlimited and so was the joy 🙂

The standard recipe of vanilla milkshake is easy and simple. It is a four ingredient recipe with milk, ice cream, sugar and vanilla. However the taste of the vanilla ice cream depends on the quality and proportion of the ingredients used. Also with this basic vanilla milkshake recipe you can make changes and create new flavors.

Flavor Variations With Vanilla Milkshake Recipe

1. Use 2.5 cups ice cream 3/4 cup milk for thick shake. You can also use 1.5 cups milk and 2,5 cups ice cream for slightly thin shake.
2. You can add vanilla ice cream and use a different extract like butterscotch or almond for a varied flavor.
3. Also you can top the milkshake with chocolate or coffee ice cream just before serving.
4. Here I have used crushed cookies and chocolate chips as topping. You can also use chocolate strands, sprinkles or wafers as toppings. Furthermore you can also decorate the serving glass with some chocolate syrup to make it attractive.
5. Instead of vanilla extract you can use vanilla bean paste or powder for more potent flavor. You can also use vanilla sugar to make milkshake.
6. Finally you can easily make vanilla milkshake without ice cream also. Just blend thoroughly chilled milk with vanilla and sugar until frothy. Here you can use some whipped cream if possible.
7. To make vegan vanilla milkshake just you any non dairy milk like almond milk and vegan ice cream.

Making vanilla milkshake at home is easy but there are few tips to make it best. Below I have listed the tips I follow to make perfect milkshake at home every time.

Tips To Make Best Vanilla Milkshake

1. Make sure the milk is boiled and chilled. If possible freeze the milk briefly before making milkshake.
2. Use full fat or whole milk for rich and thick vanilla milkshake.
3. The flavor of the milkshake highly depends on the quality of the vanilla extract. Ty to use best quality pure vanilla extract and avoid essence as far as possible.
4. Finally use fresh and good vanilla ice cream in this recipe. I like to use homemade vanilla ice cream for vanilla milkshake recipe. Also do not over blend the ingredients. When you blend it for more time the ice cream will melt and milkshake will be diluted.

Serving Suggestions

Homemade vanilla milkshake is a wonderful accompaniment to dishes like pancakes, waffles, cutlets etc. This also serves as fun filled hearty after school snack. Serve as soon as you make it with desired toppings as mentioned above.
