If You Haven’t Been Making Your Milkshakes This Way, You’re Missing Out

Last year when I taped my Swedish baking show, I had a guest come over to make milkshakes with me. On set, my guest taught me that for the most incredible milkshake you’ve ever had, the secret is a simple syrup made of a fruit puree of the same flavor as your milkshake, and frozen bananas to make it thick and creamy.
First, shred the frozen bananas first in a food processor just like you would do with carrots, before adding them into the blender with the rest in your traditional milkshake ingredients and the fruit puree.
My favorite fruit flavors are raspberry, mango and blueberry!
Let’s start.
Fruit Puree
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup (100g) sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) water
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste, optional
- 3 1/3 cup (500g) raspberries, mangoes or blueberries
- 1 lemon, juice + zest
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bring sugar, water and vanilla to a boil and let cool for some minutes.
- Add the raspberry, sugar syrup, lemon juice and lemon zest in a blender
- Then blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Pour into a glass jar or enjoy immediately on desserts, ice cream etc.
- Raspberry / strawberry punch can be refrigerated up to 4 days or kept frozen for weeks.
