To get the obvious out of the way, pretty much every milkshake is a must try milkshake.

That said, there are still levels within the milkshake category, and some are definitely superior to others.

In order to guarantee the top milkshakes are the ones getting the most attention, here is a list of 20 must try milkshake recipes.

Chocolate Milkshake Recipes

Chocolate is the most popular flavour for milkshakes, and for good reason. It just blends with the ice cream so well.

That isn’t to say that it can’t be improved upon. Keep reading for some fantastic chocolate milkshake recipes with ice cream.

Chocolate Malt Milkshake by Love From the Oven

Malt powder used to be a thing people just had in the pantry. While it’s getting harder and harder to find, it’s definitely worth tracking down for this delicious chocolate malt milkshake.

Wendy’s Frosty Recipe by Baking Beauty

Fruit Milkshake Recipes

Of course, fruit milkshakes are also a popular group of flavours. There’s the classic strawberry, but there are so many other things to try, as well.

Nothing goes better with a warm summer night than a nice fruity milkshake. If milkshake recipes with vanilla ice cream are on the radar, fruit is a perfect tie in to keep things delicious.
