    About This Recipe

    Custard milkshake is a rich and creamy summer beverage that tastes great when served chilled on a lazy hot afternoon. It gets most of its flavors from instant custard powder, which makes it taste just like creamy and smooth custard.

    It is popularly made during the month of Ramadan for the Iftar feast as it is quite filling and easy to make. To make it even more special, add in some cashew or almond powder while blending. You can also add some rose syrup (rooh-afza) to it too.

    I prefer to make custard powder at home, as it has high-quality ingredients and is free of preservatives and artificial colors. But if you are short on time, you can use a good quality store-bought custard powder.

    Ingredients

    Custard milkshake ingredients.

    This custard milkshake has some of the most basic ingredients, but the result is lip smackingly good. Just one sip of this creamy milkshake will make you go ‘wow’. It has whole milk, custard powder, sugar, vanilla extract and basil seeds.

    Use whole (full fat) milk to make the milkshake. It will give it the best creamy texture.

    You can either use homemade custard powder or a store-bought one. If you are planning to make it at home, then you can get the recipe here – Custard Powder.

    Adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste. Use a good quality vanilla extract to add to the recipe.

    You can also make a rose-flavored custard milkshake by adding some roohafza along with other ingredients.

    How to make Custard Milkshake?

    Slowly add the slurry to the pot and cook on medium heat until the custard thickens. Keep stirring continuously to avoid the formation of lumps.

    Note – To check if the custard is cooked, dip your spoon into it and then draw a finger through the coated spoon. Does it wipe clean, leaving an open space? Then your custard is done.

    Once it has thickened, remove the pot from the heat and transfer it to a bowl.

    Notes

    Freezing the milk makes the milkshake very creamy. Do not freeze it for too long otherwise, it will be difficult to blend.

    To make it even more special, add in some cashew or almond powder while blending.
