    About Custard Milkshake

    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.

    This drink is popular during Ramadan for the Iftar feast as it is filling and easy to make.

    This drink is vegetarian and gluten-free. You can double or triple the recipe as per your needs.

    Ingredients

    Custard milkshake ingredients.

    To make this recipe, you will need whole milk, instant custard powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and basil seeds (sabja).

    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 good quality store-bought custard powder.

    Use whole (full-fat) milk to make the milkshake. It will give it a rich and creamy texture.

    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 rose syrup (roohafza) to the recipe.

    Add some cashew or almond powder while blending to make it even more special.

    How To Make Custard Milkshake

    Make The Custard

    In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoon instant custard powder and ¼ cup of cold whole milk to make a lump-free mixture.

    Transfer 3 cups of milk and custard mixture to a medium size pan and mix well.

    Milk and custard mixture added to a pan.

    Heat it over 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 spatula into it and then draw a finger through the coated spatula. Your custard is done if it wipes clean, leaving an open space.

    Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the custard to a bowl.

    Cover the bowl with a cling wrap to avoid the formation of a cream layer on top. Refrigerate the custard for 1-2 hours or until it is nicely chilled.

    Freeze The Milk

    Freeze the remaining milk for 1 hour.

    Note – Do not over-freeze; otherwise, it will become hard.

    Soak The Basil Seeds

    Soak 1 teaspoon basil seeds in ¼ cup of water. Keep them aside for at least 30 minutes.

    Blend The Milkshake

    Add the chilled custard, frozen milk, 2 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the medium jar of a blender and blend until smooth.

    Frozen milk added to a blender.
    Remaining ingredients added to the blender.
    Ready custard shake.

    Pour the milkshake into 2-3 tall serving glasses.

    Add 2 teaspoon of soaked basil seeds to each glass and stir well.
