Q&A for How to Make a Milkshake Without a Blender

First, beat the strawberries separately to make a juice/liquid base. Then add the rest of the ingredients, and it should not be chunky at all.

A homemade blender would be dangerous, so it's best to purchase one.

If the chocolate has cooled and is not hot, you may added melted chocolate.

Use a spoon to break apart the ice cream gently once it's in the milk. This will make your milkshake thick and creamy without adding a bunch of frothiness to it.

You can crush ice cubes and (optional) thickened/double cream. It won't get the same affect, but it will still be better than not doing this at all.

Yes. You may blend them with the milkshake or crumble them and add them after the milkshake has been blended if you want them to be a bit crunchy.

Just put some heavy cream in a zip-lock bag with ice cubes, smash the ice cubes, and put the bag in the freezer for 24 hours. You can add optional flavoring to the cream prior to putting it into the freezer.

Ice cream just makes some people happy. I like ice cubes, but really it does not matter!

The milk should be cold. Hot milk won't work as well as cold milk, and may taste funny.

Sure! Go wild and experiment with flavor combinations!

I don't see why not! Just be careful to not whisk for too long. Using an electric whisk will speed up the process, but it will also generate heat, so it's easier to make the milkshake too thin due to the ice cream melting too fast.

It doesn't matter. Any type of ice cream will do, so don't stress about it.

To make it thicker, add more ice cream than milk; to make it thinner, add more milk to the milkshake.
