I treated myself to an early Christmas present. I never replaced my blender after it broke so we have gone awhile without one. Today I picked one up. I don't have any of my milkshake recipes anymore so I looked for some online.

Thought I would share one I found: Best milkshake recipes

Does anyone have any other recipes to add?

 I didn't even know there were recipes for milkshakes, I've just been making them up without one.  Thanks for the link Brandy!

I make malteds kind of following the recipe on the label of the malt container, but I put in more ice cream than it calls for to make it thicker. You can put almost anything in a shake or malted for flavoring. I use vanilla ice cream, the add hot chocolate mix, strawberry jam, fresh bananas, or whatever's on hand.

I make them for the kids in the summer  I dont have a recipe 

of course the one from Hillibilly Housewife

I couldn't remember the ratios for milk and ice cream and other ingredients.

I made chocolate chip cookie dough shakes using that flavor of ice cream.

 I usually put a couple of scoops of ice cream per shake and then enough milk to make the ice cream just float, then I put in chocolate syrup till it looks like enough.  Scientific method, huh? 

 Pat,

Where do you get malted milk? I've tried Carnation, but it's not the same as the Horlick's I want and grew up with - that's just not available any more. Do you use a different kind - and if it's Carnation is it "The Original" or the ones usually on the shelves?

I've never seen anything but Carnation malt. It comes in a plastic jar in the baking section of the grocery store. I don't know if that's the original or not.

 Pat, sounds as if you're getting something other than what's in my store.The Carnation there is in cardboard, and isn't a baking ingredient.Yours soundslike just malt, not a drink powder. Plain malt is what I want. I'll search further.

Yes, what I get is plain malt, not a drink mix. I hope you find it locally. It seems to be in almost every grocery store here, even at Save a Lot
