Who doesn’t love a milkshake? These smooth, creamy and sweet beverages are made with milk and ice cream, or sometimes iced milk. They also have flavorings, such as fruit syrups, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and even peanut butter. These milkshake recipes are a great way to get started. Mix each of them just until thick, using a good spin in the blender, and serve immediately with a straw or a spoon.
