Notes
🥡 Storage
- This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately. The pudding mix continues to thicken the mixture as it sits, so storing it is not recommended.
♨️ Reheating
- Not applicable for this recipe.
❄️ Freezing
- Freezing the prepared milkshake is not recommended because the texture may change after freezing and thawing.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Do not reduce the amount of milk. The pudding mix requires more liquid than you might expect in a typical milkshake.
- If the milkshake is too thick, add additional milk a little at a time and blend again.
- Prepare your garnishes before making the shake so you can serve it immediately.
- Blend for 30-45 seconds or until completely smooth.
🍳 Alternate Cooking Methods
- There are no alternate cooking methods needed for this recipe. A standard blender or high-speed blender will both work.
♻️ Leftovers
- Leftovers aren't recommended because the pudding mix will continue thickening the milkshake. For the best texture, make and enjoy it immediately.
📝 Notes
- Cardamom is optional but adds extra depth of flavor.
- Try toppings such as whipped cream, chopped pistachios, a maraschino cherry, chocolate syrup, or sprinkles.
- The pistachio pudding mix gives the shake both its pistachio flavor and a noticeable pudding flavor.
