Notes
- Avoid using ice cream right out of the freezer because it will be too hard to scoop. Instead, wait a few minutes to let it soften after you take it out.
- Load the ingredients from lightest to heaviest, starting with the milk and ending with the banana. This will ensure a smooth blend.
- For a thinner milkshake, add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
- Add extra ice cream to make the drink thicker.
- Milkshakes are best enjoyed immediately. If you store it in the fridge, it will melt and lose its thick consistency.
- After testing, the perfect milkshake formula was found to be 2 ½ cups ice cream for every ¾ cup of milk.
