What You Need To Make Salted Caramel Milkshake
- Vanilla ice cream: Use high-quality and fresh ice cream.
- Milk: You can adjust the thickness of the milkshake to your choice. For this reason, you can increase or decrease the amount of milk. For this recipe, you can add 1 cup of milk to get a thicker milkshake and 1.5 cups of milk to make a thinner milkshake. Use whole milk to make a milkshake. If you do not want to use whole milk, make sure that the milk-fat ratio is at least 2%.
- Salted caramel sauce: Drizzle caramel inside serving glasses. If you do not like ready-made caramel sauce, you can make homemade caramel sauce and enjoy its taste.
- Salt: Add a pinch of sea salt for added texture and flavor.

FAQs
How Do You Make a Thicker Milkshake?
Reduce the amount of milk or liquid you add to the blender. This will result in a thicker consistency. Increase the amount of ice cream or frozen yogurt in your milkshake. This will make a creamier and thicker milkshake.
Can I Make a Milkshake Ahead of Time?
I don’t recommend making it ahead of time. This milkshake is best served as soon as it is blended.
What Milk Is Best for Milkshakes?
Full-fat milk tends to make creamier and richer milkshakes. But if you like, you can use low-fat milk or non-dairy milk. The texture and flavor of the milkshake will change a little, but you will still have a delicious milkshake.
What Is the Best Ratio of Milk to Ice Cream for Milkshake?
I usually like the milkshake to be a little thicker, so I add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of full-fat milk for every 1 ½ cup of ice cream.
