Notes
Thick Almond Vanilla Milkshake
A rich, creamy milkshake combining the warm nuttiness of almond with the smooth sweetness of vanilla, finished with a beautiful light almond-brown colour.
Ingredients
4 cups vanilla ice cream
¾ cup cold milk
¼ teaspoon BlixSam Almond Cake Flavouring
1 teaspoon BlixSam Vanilla Cake Flavouring
1–2 drops BlixSam Brown Gel Colour
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, depending on your ice cream)
Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Method
1. Add the vanilla ice cream and milk to a blender.
2. Add the BlixSam Almond Cake Flavouring and BlixSam Vanilla Cake Flavouring.
3. Add just 1–2 drops of Brown Gel Colour and blend. Add another drop if you’d like a deeper almond colour.
4. Blend until thick, smooth and creamy.
5. Pour into chilled glasses.
6. Top with whipped cream if desired.
For an Extra Thick Milkshake
Use 5 cups of ice cream instead of 4 cups.
Reduce the milk to ½ cup.
Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving.
Optional Garnishes
🌰 Flaked almonds
🍦 A swirl of whipped cream
🍯 Honey drizzle
🍫 White chocolate shavings
🍪 Crushed almond biscuits
🌰 Toasted almond pieces
Using ¼ teaspoon almond flavouring gives a softer, more balanced almond note that complements the vanilla instead of overpowering it. The result is closer to vanilla custard with hints of marzipan and toasted almonds, making it smoother and more broadly appealing.
