There’s something magical about a cold, creamy milkshake on a hot summer day, isn’t there? 🌞 And when you combine the rich taste of vanilla custard with the refreshing quality of a milkshake, you get a delightful treat that’s sure to please everyone in the family. Today, I’d like to share with you my favorite custard milkshake recipe that’s become my go-to summer refreshment!

Why Custard Milkshakes Are So Special

A custard milkshake isn’t just any ordinary milkshake. The addition of vanilla custard powder gives it a wonderfully rich texture and a depth of flavor that regular milkshakes simply don’t have. The custard adds that perfect silky smoothness that makes each sip feel like a little luxury.

What I love most about this custard milkshake recipe is how versatile it is. You can enjoy it as a quick breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or even as a dessert after dinner. Plus, it’s so easy to make that you’ll find yourself whipping it up whenever the craving strikes!

Simple Ingredients for the Perfect Custard Milkshake

One of the best things about this custard milkshake is that it requires just a few simple ingredients:

• 1/2 liter of milk (cold works best!)
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla custard powder
• 5 teaspoons of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
• A selection of dry fruits: cashews (kaju), almonds (badam), pistachios (pista)
• A pinch of saffron (kesar) for that luxurious touch
• A hint of cardamom (elaichi) for fragrance
• Tutti frutti for color and fun (optional but recommended!)

How to Prepare Your Custard Milkshake

Making this custard milkshake is surprisingly easy. The key is in getting the custard just right before blending everything. Here’s how I do it:

First, I take a small portion of the milk (about 1/4 cup) and mix it with the custard powder until smooth. This prevents those annoying lumps that can ruin the texture of your milkshake.

Meanwhile, I gently heat the remaining milk in a saucepan. Once it’s warm (not boiling!), I slowly add the custard mixture while stirring continuously. This is when the magic happens – you’ll see the mixture start to thicken into a beautiful custard.

After adding the sugar and a pinch of cardamom, I let the custard cool completely. This step is crucial for the perfect custard milkshake – patience pays off here!

Once cooled, I blend the custard with the remaining cold milk, add my chopped dry fruits, a hint of saffron, and blend again until smooth and frothy.

Pour this luxurious custard milkshake into tall glasses, top with some more chopped nuts and a sprinkle of tutti frutti for that pop of color, and voilà! Your perfect summer refreshment is ready to be enjoyed. 🥤

Variations to Try With Your Custard Milkshake

The beauty of this basic custard milkshake recipe is how easily it can be customized. Here are some variations I’ve tried and loved:

• Fruit Custard Milkshake: Add fresh seasonal fruits like mangoes or strawberries to your custard milkshake for a fruity twist.
• Chocolate Custard Milkshake: Replace vanilla custard powder with chocolate custard powder for chocolate lovers.
• Chilled Custard Milkshake: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent, extra cold treat.
