Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the most refreshing milkshake, use cold almond milk and pre-chill your blender for an extra creamy texture.
- Cocoa Powder Matters: Use high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa works particularly well.
- Malt Powder Variations: If you can't find malt extract, malted milk powder (vegan version) or malt syrup are great alternatives.
- Sweetness Control: Start with less maple syrup and add more to taste. Different brands of cocoa and malt powder can affect the overall sweetness.
- Texture Tricks: For an extra thick milkshake, freeze some of the almond milk in ice cube trays beforehand and use those instead of regular ice cubes.
- Blending Technique: Blend on high speed and stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure a completely smooth consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: For a fancy presentation, rim the glass with cocoa powder or top with vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of malt powder.
