Of the many home-made sweets, milky mixed drinks are on a special place with many housewives. There are several secrets about how to properly make a milkshake in a blender:
Secret 1: The most important part of a cocktail is ice cream . It should be plombier and preferably fatter. But with the amount it is important not to overdo it, it should be no more than milk.
Secret 2: Different fillers are used to diversify the taste of the cocktail. It can be cocoa, a banana or some kind of syrup. But not all syrups are combined with milk taste, for example, mint, orange or blue curacao. But you can experiment with fruits: mango, strawberry, etc. But it is important to observe the proportions. For 250 ml, not more than 50 grams of fruit.
Secret 3: Milk should not be very fat, but very cold, almost frozen. Otherwise, warm ice cream will melt ice cream and the cocktail will be liquid.

Air milkshake
There are a lot of recipes for milkshakes, but they all differ in taste: strawberry, chocolate, etc., and sometimes you want something magically delicious and unusual. In this recipe, we'll talk about how to make a thick and air milkshake, so that it does not look like any other!

- ice cream - 200 g;
- milk - 200 ml;

Ice cream should not be melted (because then there will not be the right density), but not frozen (otherwise it will remain grains and not turn into a homogeneous mass), ideally it should be slightly softened. We knead ice cream, pour it with milk, add cream for whipping and whisk all with a blender or mixer for at least 1.5 minutes. The cocktail should be saturated with air and increase in volume by 1.5 times. Another important detail of milk should be necessarily cold. If you do everything right and keep proportions, the cocktail will turn out thick and airy.
