The essential idea
The ideal shake is cold, thick and still drinkable.
Too much milk makes a thin drink; too little prevents even blending. Ice cream temperature, blender power, mix-ins and serving time all affect the final texture.
🥛
Classic ratio
Start with roughly three parts softened ice cream to one part cold milk, then adjust.
🍫
Flavour boost
Use concentrated sauces or powders so the shake stays thick.
🌱
Plant-based route
Pair vegan ice cream with oat or coconut drink chosen for the flavour.
❄️
Serve immediately
A shake loses body quickly as air collapses and the ice cream warms.
Taste, texture and practical serving — considered together.
“A milkshake is not melted ice cream; it is a controlled blend of coldness, body and flavour.”— London Sam’s shake counter
A useful method
The thick-shake method
A clear sequence makes tasting, serving or planning easier and more consistent.
Soften
Soften the ice cream only enough for the blender to catch it.
Add
Add the smaller liquid quantity first.
Pulse
Pulse briefly, scrape if needed, then blend only until smooth.
Pour
Pour immediately into a chilled glass and add toppings last.
Common questions
Before the next scoop.
Product recipes and operating conditions can change. For allergies or specific dietary needs, request current information before ordering.
Can I make a shake without a blender?
A hand blender or vigorous mixing with softened ice cream can work, though the texture may be less uniform.
Can any flavour become a shake?
Most can, but heavily textured flavours may require a wider straw or reduced mix-ins.
Why is my homemade shake thin?
Common causes are too much liquid, over-blending or ice cream that is already too warm.
Can a milkshake be dairy-free?
Yes. Use a suitable plant-based frozen dessert and plant drink, while checking other ingredients and cross-contact.
