If you want your milkshake to be thinner, add more milk.

If you want a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream or a small banana to make a banana caramel milkshake.

Tips for Success

Cost To Make

Estimated cost = $1.15 for 2 serves, or $0.58 a serve.

Substitutions / Variations

  • Want to make a salted caramel milkshake? Add a pinch of salt before you blend the ingredients together. Or you could even use salted caramel sauce instead of plain caramel sauce.
  • Or maybe you want a coffee caramel milkshake? Simply replace the milk with cold coffee.
  • To make a chocolate caramel milkshake, you could add some chocolate sauce before blending your milkshake. Or you could use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream.
  • If you want to make a caramel milkshake without ice cream, you can leave out the ice cream. The milkshake will be thinner in consistency. You could add a small banana to thicken up the milkshake as an alternative. This way you make a banana caramel shake.

Serving Suggestions

Topping ideas:

  • Whipped cream
  • Scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • Sprinkles
  • Drizzle of caramel sauce (syrup)

Storage

This caramel milkshake is best served on the day it is made. You can store any leftover milkshake in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

FAQ

How do you make a caramel milkshake without a blender?

To make a caramel milkshake without a blender you could whisk all the ingredients in a bowl using a hand whisk or electric beater.

Alternatively, you could place all ingredients in a jar or shaker with a lid. Mash the ice cream and stir the mixture with a spoon. Place the lid on the jar or shaker and shake the ingredients together until combined.
