Tricks To Get A Frothy Milkshake Without A Blender

Milkshakes taste better only when they are frothy. Here’s the truth, nobody likes a milkshake that is runny, thin, watery, and dense that is just hard to swallow. A perfect milkshake is always creamy, frothy, light, and airy. A milkshake is not a perfect milkshake if it is overly dense and not mixed evenly, or if it is too runny to be even called a milkshake. Traditionally, milkshakes are only supposed to be blended until the ingredients are well combined and turned into a frothy liquid that seems creamy and delicious. However, when you make it at home, you might face a lot of trouble in getting the same texture as in cafes.

To make your work easier, this article brings you effective hacks and tips through which you can make a perfectly frothy milkshake at home even when you don’t have a blender. That’s right! A perfect milkshake recipe doesn’t require a blender, all it needs is a hand whisk and some techniques to make it frothy without the need to turn on the blender. Milkshake often requires a high speed blender which is way better and powerful than many common blenders. Therefore, you are not going to buy an expensive blender just because you want to make a milkshake. When cravings call, you should be able to make a frothy milkshake even when you don’t have the access to an expensive blender.

With these techniques, you can make a frothy milkshake whenever you want without the need for any intricate contraptions. Try these easy hacks today to make coffee chocolate milkshake with pistachio extra frothy and delicious.

1. Use a Mason Jar or Shaker Bottle

Mason jar and shaker bottles have widely been used as a way to mix the beverages and turn them frothy. This practice is often seen in cafes and bars where the barista puts up a show while shaking the coffee which is quite captivating to see. In order to make your milkshake perfectly frothy using a mason jar or a shaker bottle, add softened ice cream, milk, and other ingredients into the mason jar with a tight lid and shake it vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes until everything is well combined and turned slightly frothy. For a better grip, wrap the jar in a towel while shaking so it doesn't slip off and remains cool while you are holding it.

2. Use a Hand Whisk or Milk Frother

You may have seen several influencers and food content creators use a small electric hand whisk to add frothyness to their coffee in the mug. You can also use a small electric hand whisk or a milk frother to create froth in your own coffee chocolate milkshake with pistachio. For this, you just have to place the milkshake ingredients in a large cup or a bowl and whisk it by an electric mixer or a hand whisk until it turns frothy. A non-electric hand whisk will also work but it will take some time and effort to create perfect froth in the milkshake when you do it manually. A battery operated milk frother is therefore easier and way cheaper than buying a high speed blender.

3. Try an Immersion Blender

Immersion blender works better than battery operated hand blender or frother since it is slightly bigger and powerful. However, it can also be messier so it is better to use an immersion blender in a tall mug or a jug where the chances of spillage are low. Put the ingredients directly in your preferred mug and blend it by putting in the stick blender and turning it on. When you whisk it without the lid, the air outside helps build the froth. Move the stick blender up and down to incorporate more air into the milkshake.

4. Let Ice Cream Soften First

Ice cream can be dense when it is straight out of the fridge. It is also slightly solid and not easy to mix. Therefore, it is harder to blend it in the milkshake when it is cold. When you blend it straight out of the freezer, you get an uneven texture with lumps of ice cream that remain unmixed. This also ruins the texture of the milkshake and does not let it turn frothy properly. To dissolve ice cream properly, you first have to let ice cream soften at room temperature. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes before mixing it into the milkshake. Softer ice cream also blends well without a powerful blender and it will be easier for you to mix it with a battery operated hand blender or frother.
