Ultimate Bournvita Milkshake Recipe – Easy Chocolate Treat

Okay, let’s be real. Who doesn’t have a soft spot for Bournvita? This milkshake takes me right back to childhood! It’s the perfect quick treat, especially on a hot day, and honestly, it’s just pure comfort in a glass. I’m so excited to share my go-to recipe with you – it’s super simple and always a hit.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Bournvita milkshake isn’t just delicious; it’s ridiculously easy to make. Seriously, you only need a handful of ingredients and a blender! It’s the perfect solution when you’re craving something sweet and chocolatey but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Plus, that nostalgic Bournvita flavour? Unbeatable.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this dreamy milkshake:

• 1 cup milk (about 240ml)
• 0.5 cup frozen milk (about 120ml) – more on this later!
• 2 tablespoons Bournvita (approximately 20g)
• 2 teaspoons sugar (about 8g) – adjust to your sweetness preference!
• 1 teaspoon chocolate spread (about 5g) – Nutella works great, or try a homemade version!

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec, because a few little tweaks can make all the difference.

Bournvita: This is the star of the show! It’s a malted chocolate drink mix popular in India, and it brings a unique, slightly nutty flavour. It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals, so you can feel slightly less guilty about indulging. You can usually find it in any Indian grocery store, or online.

Milk: I usually use full-fat milk for the creamiest milkshake, but you can absolutely use whatever you prefer – skim, 2%, or even plant-based milk for a vegan version (more on that later!). The fat content does affect the richness, so keep that in mind.

Frozen Milk: This is my secret weapon for a super thick and frosty milkshake! Just pour some milk into an ice cube tray and freeze it. It makes all the difference.

Chocolate Spread: Nutella is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment! A good quality homemade chocolate hazelnut spread works beautifully too. You can even use a simple chocolate sauce if that’s what you have on hand.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get blending!

1. First, add the chilled milk to your blender jar. This is key for a cold milkshake!
2. Now, pour in the frozen milk. Don’t skip this step – it’s what gives it that amazing texture.
3. Add the Bournvita, sugar, and chocolate spread to the blender.
4. Blend everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure everything is fully incorporated.
5. Pour the milkshake into your favourite serving glasses.
6. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate sprinklers (because why not?).
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Want to take your Bournvita milkshake to the next level? Here are a few of my go-to tips:

• Consistency is Key: If your milkshake is too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add a few more frozen milk cubes.
• Preventing Ice Crystals: Frozen milk can sometimes lead to ice crystals. Blending on high speed for a little longer helps minimize this.
• Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before pouring in the milkshake. It keeps it colder for longer!

Variations

This recipe is a great base for all sorts of fun variations. Here are a few of my favourites:

• Vegan Bournvita Milkshake: Swap the dairy milk for your favourite plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk all work well) and use a vegan chocolate spread.
• Sugar-Free Option: Use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol to reduce the sugar content.
• Extra Chocolate Boost: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for an even richer chocolate flavour.
• Mango Bournvita Milkshake (Summer Special): Add ½ cup of chopped mango to the blender for a tropical twist. My family loves this one during mango season!

Serving Suggestions

This milkshake is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a little something on the side.

• It pairs perfectly with a plate of biscuits or cookies.
• It’s also a fantastic dessert after a spicy Indian meal – the sweetness helps cool things down.

Storage Instructions

Honestly, this milkshake is best served immediately. But if you absolutely have to store it, you can keep it in the fridge for up to 30 minutes. It might separate a little, so just give it a quick stir before serving.

FAQs

Got questions? I’ve got answers!

Can I use warm milk instead of chilled milk?

You can, but it won’t be as cold or thick. Chilled milk is definitely recommended for the best results.

What is Bournvita and where can I find it?

Bournvita is a malted chocolate drink mix popular in India. You can find it in most Indian grocery stores or online retailers.

Can I adjust the sweetness level in this milkshake?

Absolutely! Feel free to add more or less sugar to suit your taste.

Not really. It’s best enjoyed fresh. It tends to separate and lose its texture if made too far in advance.

Blend on high speed and stop to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Adding a little extra milk can also help if it’s struggling to blend.
