Instructions

Make The Custard

In a small bowl, stir together custard powder and ¼ cup of cold milk to make a lump-free mixture.
Transfer 3 cups of milk and custard mixture to a medium size pan and mix well.
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 basil seeds in ¼ cup of water. Keep them aside for at least 30 minutes.

Blend The Milkshake

Add the chilled custard, frozen milk, sugar, and vanilla extract to the medium jar of a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the milkshake into 2-3 tall serving glasses.
Add 2 teaspoons of soaked basil seeds to each glass and stir well.
Top the drinks with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with chocolate syrup and mint leaves. Serve chilled.

Notes

Freezing some of the milk makes the milkshake very creamy. Do not freeze it too long; blending will be difficult.

Adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste.

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.
