Milkshake in a blender with ice cream

Prepare all the ingredients for the milkshake with ice cream in a blender. In fact, there are many ways to make such a drink. I took the basic components in the form of classic vanilla ice cream and juice. But this milkshake is like a constructor. Instead of vanilla ice cream, you can take, for example, chocolate, and accordingly, your shake will be filled with a chocolate flavor. I used berry juice. There can also be variations here. You can take apple, pear, or apricot juice. Accordingly, the shade of your shake's taste will change. But it is important to know that acidic types of juice are not suitable for milkshakes. For example, if you add pomegranate or orange juice, the milk can curdle from the acidity of the fruits, and the shake won't turn out.

Put the ice cream in the blender bowl. Add cold milk and juice. It's better if the juice is also chilled. If you want to get an even more intense flavor of the shake, then the juice can be replaced with the same amount of fruit or berry puree. This will add more color and saturation. But don't forget that it is also important not to use puree with high acidity.

Beat the milkshake in the blender for 2-3 minutes. If you feel that the shake lacks sweetness, you can add a couple of tablespoons of condensed milk. It will make the shake slightly viscous and sweeten it.

Pour the ready milkshake into serving glasses. From this amount of ingredients, you will get three servings of the shake.

For garnishing the shake, I used whipped cream from a can. They are sold in any store in the dairy products section. Yes, they are not the most natural, but they are easy and quick to use, and they hold their shape for a long time. Instead of whipped cream from a can, you can make a topping for decorating the milkshake yourself. For this, you will need regular liquid cream with a fat content of at least 33%. Pay attention to the fact that they should be specifically for whipping. Very often, fatty ultra-pasteurized creams with a fat content of 33-35% are sold, but they are intended only for drinking. You won't be able to whip them. It is best to use cold cream, it is easier and faster to whip. Pour the cream into a deep bowl. Add powdered sugar, preferably vanilla. Beat the cream with powdered sugar using a mixer for 4-5 minutes. You should have a fluffy and stable mass.

Decorate the milkshake with whipped cream. You can put them on the milkshake using a pastry bag with a nozzle or simply spoon them on top.

Serve the milkshake immediately, before the cream cap settles in the liquid. You can leave the milkshake as it is, but I decided to garnish it with fresh clusters of red currants and mint leaves. You can also use chocolate, small cookies, or fruit slices as decoration. You can drizzle the milkshake with chocolate or caramel topping. It all depends on your taste and imagination.

The milkshake with ice cream is ready in a blender. Enjoy your meal!
