Hello and welcome to you in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make milkshakes.
Oh, yeah.
I had a handful of requests to do some milkshakes.
So here we go.
That's what we're going to do.
Super, super easy to do.
Very few ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.

Let's get started for a vanilla milkshake.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to take some vanilla
ice cream
and I'm going to do.
About four scoops of ice cream,
three or four, just depends on how much you want to make and
also depends on how thick you want it.
Let me do about three and a half.
You could always add more milk or more ice cream to get it to
the thickness that you want and then add one half cup,
about one half cup of milk to start.
And then since this is vanilla, I want to amp up
the vanilla and add in about a half teaspoon
of vanilla extract.
And that's what we need for vanilla milkshake.
Pretty much three ingredients.
I just put this in my blender here for the top one
and we will blend.
It doesn't take very long, like 15 seconds or so,
20 seconds, and then you want to check your consistency
and that's not as thick as I want it.
So I'm going to add in a little more ice cream.
If you wanted to do a banana flavor, add in a couple
of bananas, one banana, two bananas, and then
mix that in.
You'll have yourself banana milkshake.
If you want to do
some kind of like a peach one, add in some peaches.
OK, there we go.
I still want it to be thin enough to be able to drink it
from a straw.
And now we're going to pour in the milkshake.
Yeah, nice and thick.
Now, you can make it even thicker if you want totally
up to you.
And then if you want, you can come in with some
whipped cream.
To top it off with some whipped cream and now for my
strawberry milkshake, again, let's put in
the vanilla ice cream, or if you have strawberry ice cream,
then that makes sense to use that, right.
So you can use strawberry ice cream
about three and a half scoops there.
And then we'll put in our milk about a half cup of
milk again.
It doesn't really matter.
You don't have to be exact with it.
And then I'm going to put in about a cup of
fresh strawberries, and that's not going to be
enough strawberry flavor.
So I'm going to put in about a tablespoon or so of
this strawberry syrup.
All you need.
Just a little too thin and probably add another scoop of
ice cream and then I'm going to also taste it.
That's really good.
I think I might add just a little more syrup,
strawberry syrup and another scoop of ice cream.
Some people like their milkshakes, more like
milk consistency and other people like it more thick
where you can.
You need to eat it with a spoon instead of with the straw.
It's totally up to you.
These ingredients, these amounts
are just guidelines.
And we will go for pour that in.
This is a little bit more on the running side, but it's
still pretty thick.
Again, if you want a thicker
use less milk or use a little bit more ice cream.
And if the shake is too runny for you, you can just put it in
the freezer for about 30 minutes and it will
thicken up.
And then again, we can top this off with some whipped cream.
And maybe we can come in here and put on some fresh
strawberry as well.
Very cool.
Now I'm going to do the chocolate milk shake and we do
this a little bit different.
You can use chocolate ice cream.
That's a very good thing to use.
But if you just have vanilla, I'm going to show you how to
make it with vanilla.
And what I would normally do instead of just dumping all the
milk in, let's say you have a limited a limited amount of
ice cream
and you want to make sure that you have a very, very thick.
Milkshake.
OK, all out of ice cream.
What we can do is we will put in our ice cream and then put
in our syrup about a tablespoon of chocolate syrup, many more.
All right.
And then when I'm going to do is because I can't add any more
ice cream to ran out.
I'm just going to add in a little bit of milk at first.
Just see where that gets me, I can always add more milk.
And so this one is going to be thicker.
Then the others,
so I just wanted to show you how you can just use less milk
to get the consistency that you wanted and for this
little guy, maybe I'll come in here with some whipped cream.
And you can drizzle on more chocolate syrup if you
want it,
or maybe I will come in here.
Western Championship's.
There we go.
All right, there are three simple milkshake recipes
for you, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
One thing I want to mention is you can use a different sauce
than like the strawberry syrup.
You could use actual fresh homemade strawberry sauce.
You could use like strawberry jam or jelly,
something like that, instead of using that syrup if you want.
You could use cocoa powder and melted chocolate instead of
using the chocolate syrup, a variety of things that you
can try and also different fruits that you can do.
I love making nectarine and peach shakes as well.
Banana shakes are really good, but you always want to start
with a base of ice cream, whether you use vanilla ice
cream or like a flavored ice cream, like a strawberry
ice cream or a chocolate ice cream or something like that,
and then a little bit of milk and you're on your way to
some amazing shakes.
Also, if you want to do like a mint chocolate shake and you
can add just a hint of mint extract in there, maybe like a
fourth of a teaspoon and they'll give you a nice little
mint chocolate flavor.
Super easy to do.
Very few ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
