Equipment

  • Medium-sized saucepan
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of creamy whole milk
  • ¾ cup of fine granulated sugar
  • A splash of pure vanilla essence or adjust to your preference
  • 12 frosty ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup optional, for added richness

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Caramel Syrup

  • Start by creating your caramel syrup. Pour the granulated sugar into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir consistently until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 2: Add Whole Milk

  • Once the sugar turns into caramel, slowly add the whole milk. The mixture will sizzle and might clump. Continue stirring until the caramel dissolves into the milk.

Step 3: Incorporate Vanilla Essence

  • Add a splash of pure vanilla essence to the milk and caramel mixture. This step enhances the aromatic flavor, making it more robust.

Step 4: Cool the Mixture

  • Allow the mixture to cool. You can place it in the fridge for faster cooling. You want it cold but not frozen.

Step 5: Blend with Ice Cubes

  • Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender. Add the 12 frosty ice cubes and blend until you achieve a creamy, milkshake-like consistency.

Step 6: Optional Sweetener Addition

  • If you desire added richness, blend in one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Pour your milkshake into a tall glass, optionally topping with whipped cream or a pinch of sea salt for an extra kick.

Notes

To ensure your milkshake turns out perfect every time, keep these tips in mind:
  • Stir consistently: When making caramel syrup, keep stirring the sugar to ensure even melting.
  • Add milk slowly: When introducing milk to hot caramel, go slow to avoid clumping and splattering.
  • Cool properly: Ensure the caramel milk mixture is sufficiently cool before blending. This prevents melting the ice cubes too quickly.
  • Adjust sweetness: Modify the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar and optional honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Texture matters: If the consistency isn’t to your liking, adjust by adding more ice cubes for a thicker texture or more milk for a thinner one.
