Blend milk, vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce until smooth to make a caramel milkshake. Start with less milk and add more gradually to control the thickness. Drizzle extra caramel inside the glass or over the top before serving.
A caramel milkshake usually contains milk, vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Some versions add whipped cream or a pinch of salt, while a coffee-shop-style variation may include espresso. The exact sweetness depends on the sauce and ice cream.
Yes, you can make a caramel milkshake without ice cream. Blend milk with caramel sauce and ice, then add frozen banana or yogurt if you want a thicker texture. It will be less rich and creamy than the classic ice-cream version.
A salted caramel milkshake includes salt to balance the sweetness of the caramel, while a regular caramel milkshake is sweet without a salty note. If your sauce is already salted, taste the drink before adding any more.
Use less milk and more ice cream to make a caramel milkshake thicker. Add ingredients gradually and blend only until smooth; too much ice or prolonged blending can make it thinner as the ice cream melts.
A standard caramel milkshake has no caffeine because it is made with milk, ice cream and caramel sauce. Coffee-shop versions may contain espresso or coffee, so ask whether coffee has been added if you are avoiding caffeine.
A caramel milkshake is best enjoyed immediately, since the ice cream melts and the texture separates as it sits. If you have leftovers, cover and refrigerate them, then drink them the same day after stirring or briefly reblending.
Yes, you can freeze a caramel milkshake, but it may turn icy or separate when thawed. For a smoother result, let it soften slightly and blend it again before drinking; making only what you plan to serve is better.
Whipped cream, a caramel drizzle and crushed cookies all pair well with a caramel milkshake. A small pinch of flaky salt adds contrast to the sweetness, while chocolate shavings give it a richer dessert-style finish.
A caramel milkshake is often runny because it contains too much milk, the ice cream has softened, or it was blended for too long. Add more cold ice cream and blend briefly to thicken it, rather than adding more ice.

A caramel milkshake blends milk with caramel sauce, often with ice cream for a thicker, more dessert-like drink. It is especially associated with American diners and ice-cream shops, but is now a familiar café treat in many places. At home, it can be made by blending the ingredients until smooth and serving it cold.
It tastes sweet and buttery, with a creamy texture; it is usually enjoyed as a dessert or an occasional café drink rather than alongside a meal. Milk and ice cream provide some protein and fat, while the caramel adds sweetness, and the drink contains very little fibre. For a less rich version, use less caramel and skip or reduce the ice cream.
