More often than not when I ask people why they don’t like to make chocolate milkshakes at home, their answer: they can never get the right ratio of ingredients so it tastes as good as one from a restaurant. Honestly, that totally tracks. I find a lot of people just wing it and toss a bunch of different things into the blender and hope for the best. Well, that all changes TODAY! You’ll be making restaurant quality shakes in your own kitchen, and ruining your taste buds for any other kinds!
Make Chocolate Milkshakes at Home Like a BOSS
First things first, you have to understand the difference between a mediocre milkshake and a phenomenal one: the quality of the ingredients you use! That’s right. It isn’t about how many ingredients you put in your blender, it’s all about the high quality organic ice cream, the best homemade chocolate syrup and scratch made fudge, and a great organic whole milk. Once you’ve got the right ingredients, you’ll love to make chocolate milkshakes in your own kitchen.

Salt in a Milkshake? What?
Salt brings out the sweet flavor of whatever it’s added to, as long as you don’t use too much of it. When you add it to as you make chocolate milkshakes, it brings out the sweetness in the whole milk and helps balance the bitterness in chocolate. Trust me, it’s amazing. Brooklyn Farm Girl includes a bit of salt in her chocolate milkshake recipe, and it makes a huge difference in the flavor. Don’t roll your eyes, just give it a try.
