Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Homemade Ice Cream Milkshakes

Hi Bold Bakers! Summer is almost here and I wanted to start sharing with you my frozen

dessert lineup and another great way to use my Homemade No Machine Ice Cream. I'm going

to show you some of your favorite flavors turned into milkshakes. So let's get blending!

So I have some really exciting news. Finally, our website, BiggerBolderBaking.com, is up and live right

now. Over there you will find all of my videos and written recipes that can be easily printed

and shared. And make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my FREE weekly newsletter for exclusive content

and giveaways.

If you sign up now, you can enter to win this beautiful KitchenAid Torrent Blender that

I'm using in this video today to make my milkshakes.

I really hope you enjoy my new website and please let me know what you think.

For my milkshakes, I'm using my lovely brand new blender but you can use any liquidizer

or blender that you have at home and you can even use a hand blender.

Our first Milkshake flavor up is a winning combo and one of my personal favorites:

Banana and Salted Caramel.

Now the star of this show is my Homemade No Machine Ice Cream. I made a plain vanilla

base but you can use any ice cream that you want. You can even use another ice cream like

the Dulce de Leche one we made a few weeks ago. If you put that in there with bananas

and caramel it will be gorgeous.

Into your blender pitcher, add in your ice cream and your milk.

Now I like to use frozen bananas for my milkshakes because they make the milkshake really creamy

and nice and thick. So when you see a few bananas around your house and they're turning

a little bit black, throw them in the freezer, and when you go to make a milkshake take them

out and they are perfect.

So to our banana, we're going to add in my awesome salted caramel sauce. Now you guys know this

recipe because I've done it in so many videos and it's going to work so well in this milkshake.

Ok. Lovely. Now lid on. Our recipe for deliciousness is ready to go.

If you press liquify, blend, or even frappe, all those settings will work really well for

milkshakes. Blend your milkshake for around 2-3 minutes depending on your machine and

you'll see it get lovely and thick.

And it's done! Oh my gosh. It looks so good.

Now you know I love good presentation so I'm going to put my milkshakes in these lovely tall glasses.

To make your milkshakes really stand out, you can even decorate your glass. I like to

pour in some salted caramel sauce along the edges.

And then follow with your homemade banana milkshake. Just look at how thick this is.

I like to top mine off with freshly whipped cream and some more salted caramel sauce.

This is definitely for caramel lovers.

Now as the maker of the milkshake, I get to be the first taster of the milkshake. This

is exactly what I thought it would be like. It's sweet. A little bit salty from the caramel

sauce. Absolutely gorgeous.

So the best thing about these milkshakes is not the method because you just put it on

a blender. The best part is the combination of flavors that you can use and you'll see

that throughout this video. It's going to get your creative juices flowing to come up

with your own milkshake combinations. So on to the next flavor!

Our next milkshake is a flavor that is always well-received here on Bigger Bolder Baking and that is OREO.

Into your pitcher, add your ice cream, milk and OREO cookies. I'm using the regular

OREO cookies but you can actually use Golden OREOs or even if you can get your hands on

some Red Velvet ones then those would be great too.

Perfect! Three simple ingredients and one gorgeous milkshake so on with the lid.

I know this sounds kind of weird but I love to have milkshakes when I'm eating french

fries. I don't know why but it just tastes so good together.

Lovely. Another milkshake is done. Dessert does not get much faster than that. I just love

the idea of milkshakes for summer parties and sleepovers. They're just perfect and so easy.

To serve my milkshake, I like to pipe whipped cream on top and dust it with a few crushed OREO.

For all of you out there who love OREO as much as me, you are going to love this one.

Our next milkshake flavor up is one I'm hoping you're going to try. It's Chocolate and Peanut

Butter but this one is a little bit different because it's suitable for vegans. So it doesn't

contain ice cream but it has frozen bananas, peanut butter and cocoa powder. It is out

of this world!

Into your pitcher, we're going to add in a banana, some dairy free milk, cocoa powder,

peanut butter, some vanilla extract and some ice cubes. I think you guys know by now that

for my vegan recipes I alter the ingredients but not the flavor so they can be enjoyed

by everybody not just vegans.

On some blenders, this milkshake might need a little bit more time to blend down all of

that ice. And then serve straight away. Just look at how thick that is.

To decorate my chocolate and peanut butter milkshake, I like to lay on a few slices of fresh

banana on top and dust it with a little bit of cocoa powder.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate is delicious no matter what shape or form it comes in. You

guys are really going to like this one. Ok, on to our next great flavor.

Our next milkshake flavor was the most-requested ice cream flavor so I'm guessing you're going

to like it as a milkshake version. And that is Mint Chocolate Chip.

In your pitcher, add in your ice cream. To the ice cream mix, I'm going to add in some

mint to get that lovely fresh flavor. However if you don't want to use fresh mint you can

always use mint extract or essence.

In with the mint. If you want to trick your senses a little bit, you can always add in

a little bit of green food dye into this mix. Also instead of vanilla ice cream you can

always add in my mint chocolate chip ice cream. It will be like a double whammy of mint!

Just before your milkshake is done we're going to add in some chocolate chips. Your machine

will break them up nice and fine so you'll get a bit of chocolate and mint in every sip.

To serve this milkshake, I like to pipe some freshly whipped cream on top, grate some chocolate

and then add a sprig of mint.

So I know you guys love mint chocolate chip ice cream but I have a feeling you might love

this milkshake even more.

I love cheesecake for dessert and obviously I'm going to love it in every form it comes

in. So our next flavor is a strawberry cheesecake milkshake.

In your pitcher, add in your ice cream, milk, cream cheese, fresh strawberries and vanilla extract.

I love strawberry cheesecake but if you want to add in blueberries, raspberries or even

mango, that will still taste great.

A good way to keep these milkshakes cold is pop your glasses in the fridge beforehand.

To decorate this big and bold milkshake, I'm going to pipe on some freshly whipped cream,

dust it with some graham crackers and add a fresh strawberry on top.

So I think I might have saved the best flavor for last. This is absolutely phenomenal. I know

you're going to love this one.

If 5 amazing milkshake flavors aren't enough, then I posted a bonus flavor over on my website

so make sure you go over there and check it out.
