Creamy Banana Caramel Nut Milkshake (Serves 2)

This rich and indulgent banana caramel nut milkshake is a perfect blend of natural sweetness, creamy texture, and crunchy toppings. It works beautifully as a dessert drink, party treat, or a café-style special at home.

Ingredients

For the Milkshake:

  • 2 ripe bananas (peeled and sliced)

  • 2 cups chilled full-cream milk

  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence

  • A small pinch of salt (enhances flavor)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, or cashews)

For Topping:

  • Whipped cream (fresh or canned)

  • Banana slices

  • Extra chopped nuts

  • Caramel sauce drizzle

Preparation Method

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    Slice the bananas and keep them chilled for a thicker, creamier shake. Chop the nuts finely or leave them slightly chunky for texture.

  2. Blend the Base:
    In a blender, add chilled milk, banana slices, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, honey (or sugar), vanilla essence, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed for 30–40 seconds until smooth and creamy.

  3. Add Crunch:
    Add chopped nuts to the blender and pulse once or twice. This keeps a light crunch without making the shake grainy.

  4. Decorate the Glasses:
    Drizzle caramel sauce inside tall serving glasses, letting it run down the sides for a café-style look.

  5. Serve the Shake:
    Pour the milkshake evenly into the prepared glasses.

  6. Top Generously:
    Add a swirl of whipped cream on top. Garnish with banana slices, extra chopped nuts, and a final drizzle of caramel sauce.

Serving Tips

  • Serve immediately while cold and thick.

  • Add crushed biscuits or granola for extra texture.

  • For a healthier version, replace ice cream with frozen bananas and use low-fat milk.

Flavor Notes

The natural sweetness of bananas pairs perfectly with buttery caramel, while the nuts add crunch and depth. The whipped cream topping makes it luxurious and visually irresistible—just like a café dessert shake.
