Make a Milkshake Without Ice Cream

A milkshake made without ice cream is still enjoyable. If you're out of ice cream or just isn't your thing, there are various great ways to still produce a delicious milkshake.

  • Prep time (blender): 5 minutes
  • Cook time (blending): 30-60 seconds
  • Total time: 5-10 minutes

Ingredients

Blender milkshake:

  • 12 ice cubes
  • 2 cups (475 ml) milk
  • 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract
  • 3/4 c (100 g) Sugar
  • Chocolate syrup or other flavor (optional and to taste)

Milkshake in a bag:

  • 2 cups (475 ml) milk or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp (5 g) sugar
  • 12 ice cubes
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon (pinch) salt
  • Chocolate syrup or other flavor (optional and to taste)

Crushed ice milkshake:

  • Milk (enough for a glass)
  • Syrup or fruit of choice (to taste)
  • Crushed ice

Steps

Blender milkshake

  1. Measure out 2 cups (475 ml) milk, 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract, and chocolate syrup (if desired). Put them into a blender and mix for 15-20 seconds. This circulates the air.
    • The thicker the milk you use (2%, for example) the thicker your milkshake will be.
  2. Put 3/4 cup (100 g) sugar into the blender. Blend for 5 - 10 seconds more.
  3. Add the ice. This will work best with pre-crushed ice. Watch it as it blends -- if it blends too much, it will get quite runny.
  4. Serve and enjoy. Consume immediately -- it's best when cold and the ice still gives it texture.

Milkshake in a bag

  1. Take a small plastic bag and fill it with milk. It needs to be resealable above all else.
  2. Put a teaspoon of sugar in the milk. Lightly stir to combine.
  3. Add a few drops of vanilla extract/essence into the bag. Stir the vanilla in thoroughly.
  4. Fill the big bag up halfway with ice. It needs to be able to contain a smaller bag and be sealed. A gallon-sized resealable bag is ideal.
  5. Put the bag with the mixture in the bigger bag. The ice is simply to get the chemical reactions going -- you won't be consuming it. It will remain separate from the milk mixture.
  6. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the bigger bag. This has to do with exothermic reactions and is an imperative step to your mixture thickening!
  7. Shake for about 5-7 minutes, or until mushy like a milkshake. It requires vigorous shaking for the mixture to thicken. If 7 minutes have passed and it's not thick enough, shake it for a few more.
  8. Open up the small bag and pour it into a cup. Enjoy your shake!

Crushed ice milkshake

  1. Add the ingredients to the blender. If using fruit, chop into small enough pieces.
  2. Blend until all the ingredients are well mixed.
  3. Add crushed ice. Blend again to mix thoroughly.
  4. Pour into the glass. The crushed ice will make the milkshake both cold and texturally thick.

Tips

  • Try adding Oreos for a blast of flavour.
  • You can put a towel on the bag so that your hands do not get cold when you are shaking the bag.
  • Do the shaking outside or else the bag might pop and it will make a mess on the floor.
  • Add a big spoonful of peanut butter for a decadent chocolate peanut butter shake.
  • Add 1 tbsp of instant coffee for a mocha shake.
  • Add berries. This will bring that big blasting flavor that makes a smoothie taste delicious. The more, the merrier!
  • Add 1 very ripe banana for a chocolate banana shake.
  • If you are diabetic, you can use artificial sweetener.
  • You might want to do this with two people because you can get very tired shaking the bag.
  • Cook it in the stove to thicken it, and then cool it down again.
  • Do not use too much ice because it will make the milkshake watery.
  • If desired, add some whipped cream at the top when you are finished.

Warnings

  • Don't put in too much vanilla extract/essence or else it might get bitter.
  • This milkshake is cold, and is not thick like other kinds of milkshakes.
