Ingredients for Dry Fruits Milkshake Recipe

• Dry fruits: I used almonds, cashews, pistachios, raisins, dates, and figs.
• Milk: Use whole milk for a creamy, thick milkshake. You can also use plant-based milk like almond milk, soy milk, or cashew milk.
• Cardamom: Cardamom powders add a nice sweet aroma to the milkshake.
• Sweetener: I did not use any sweetener in this recipe. However, you can add sweeteners like sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

How to Make Dried Fruit Milkshake

Soak the mixed dry fruits like badam, cashew, pistachios, raisins, dates, and dried figs in hot water for about an hour or overnight.

Drain the water and peel the badam and discard the skin.

Blend the soaked dry fruits with ½ cup of milk until you get a smooth paste.

Then add the remaining milk, cardamom powder and blend until you get a creamy milkshake.

Note: If you have a high-speed blender like Vitamix, then add all the ingredients, like soaked mixed dry fruits, milk, and cardamom powder, to the blender and blend until you get a smooth and creamy texture.

Pour the milkshake into glasses and serve chilled with some chopped nuts on the top.

Serving Suggestions

Garnish the dried fruit milkshake with the chopped nuts of your choice.

You can also serve this milkshake along with a sandwich for morning breakfast for your kids.

Storage Suggestions

This milkshake tastes best when consumed fresh. However, you can store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day in an airtight container.

I do not recommend freezing this dried fruit milkshake, as it can get separated when thawed and lose its texture and flavor.

Tips to Make the Best Nut Milkshake

1. Soak the dry fruits: Soaking the dry fruits in water for a few hours or overnight will help them soften and blend more easily, resulting in a smoother milkshake.
2. Peel almond skin: The skin of almonds can be slightly bitter and may affect the taste and texture of the milkshake.
3. Sweetener: I did not use any sweetener, but you can use sweeteners of your choice, like sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and honey.
4. Ice cream: You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make the shake thicker and creamier.
5. Use any dried fruits: You can use any combination of dry fruits that's available to you and make this milkshake.
