6. You can add ice cubes if you want while serving.

Variations

• Ice cream – If you want a true milkshake, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  You will likely only need a little sugar if you are using ice cream.  In fact, you may not need any addition of sugar. Chikoo has some natural sweetness.
• Cardamom – Simply add a little cardamom powder.  Cardamom tastes delicious and brings depth to the shake.
• Chocolate – So, chikoo has notes of caramel. Caramel tastes great with chocolate which is what gives us this combination! Adding a teaspoon or two of chocolate syrup makes for a mouth-watering treat.  You can also optionally use chocolate powder.  Just don’t use too much so it isn’t overpowering the shake.
• Coconut – Add some desiccated coconut to the blender.  It is a yummy flavor combination that inspired my Chikoo Cheesecake Recipe

Vegan Chikoo Shake

Simply swap out your preferred plant-based milk for the dairy milk in a chikoo milkshake to make it vegan. You will get a lusher shake if you use oat or pea milk, both of which are fairly creamy. Almond, coconut, or soy milk also functions well.

Tips and Tricks

• Use any sweetener of your choice like sugar, honey, maple syrup, palm sugar, or coconut sugar.
• Chill the fruit before making a milkshake to get a chilled chikoo milkshake.
• You can also omit to add sugar if the chickoo is very sweet.
• Another fruit you can add to this milkshake is mango.
• The recipe can be scaled easily to make a larger batch

  FAQs

  Q: Can I use any type of milk for a chikoo shake?

  A: Yes, you can use any type of milk based on your preference. Full-fat milk will result in a creamier shake, while low-fat or plant-based milk options like almond milk or coconut milk can be used for a lighter version.

  Q: Can I add any other ingredients to enhance the flavor?

  A: Absolutely! You can experiment with different flavors and add-ons to enhance your chikoo shake. Some popular additions include a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a pinch of cardamom powder, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts like almonds or cashews.

  Q: Are chikoo shakes healthy?

  A: Chikoo shakes can be a nutritious choice as they contain the natural goodness of Chikoos, which are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, if you are watching your calorie intake, you may want to moderate the amount of sugar or sweeteners added to the shake.

  Q: Can I store chikoo shake for later consumption?

  A: It is best to consume chikoo shakes immediately after preparation to enjoy their freshness and flavor. They may separate and lose their texture if stored for too long. If you have a leftover shake, you can refrigerate it for a short time, but it’s recommended to consume it within a few hours.
