Here’s how to make this delightful concoction at home.
Ingredients
To make a white chocolate milkshake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or 2% for creamier texture)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- White chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Melt the White Chocolate
- Double Boiler Method: Place the white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir the chocolate until it melts completely and is smooth.
- Microwave Method: Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
2. Prepare the Milkshake Base
- Blend the Ice Cream and Milk: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate into the blender. Add the vanilla extract and blend again until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
3. Adjust Consistency
- Too Thick? If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Too Thin? If it’s too thin, add a bit more ice cream and blend until thickened.
4. Serve
- Pour into Glasses: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses.
- Garnish (Optional): Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with white chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an extra touch of indulgence.
