Tips
- Pre-chill the glass before pouring so the thick blend doesn't start melting against warm glass.
- Grate the chocolate garnish just before serving so it sits in curls on top instead of melting into the shake.
- Blend just until smooth; over-blending warms the mixture and thins out the shake's body.
FAQ
Is a milkshake just ice cream and milk blended?
A basic milkshake is just ice cream and milk blended together, but this Snickers Milkshake goes further, blending in peanut paste and dark chocolate for a candy-bar-flavored dessert drink.
What is the ratio of ice cream to milk for a milkshake?
A common milkshake ratio is roughly equal parts ice cream and milk, and this build follows that same balance, blending vanilla ice cream with milk plus a portion of cream for extra body. The peanut paste, chocolate, and caramel syrup are then blended in on top of that base for flavor and thickness.
What thickens a milkshake?
Ice cream is what thickens a milkshake, since its fat and air content give the drink body once blended with milk. Here, the cream adds further richness on top of the ice cream, giving the shake its dense, spoonable texture.
How do you make a Snickers milkshake?
