Yes, you can use corn flour (cornstarch) to thicken a milkshake. Cornstarch is a common thickening agent used in cooking and baking to add thickness and body to various dishes, including desserts like milkshakes.
To use corn flour as a thickening agent for a milkshake, follow these steps:
In a separate bowl, mix a small amount of corn flour (usually 1-2 tablespoons) with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry. Stir until the corn flour is fully dissolved.
In a blender, combine your milkshake ingredients, such as ice cream, milk, and any desired flavorings (chocolate syrup, fruits, etc.).
Start the blender and slowly pour the corn flour slurry into the milkshake mixture while it's blending. Adding the slurry gradually will help prevent lumps from forming.
Continue blending until the milkshake reaches the desired consistency. The corn flour will thicken the milkshake as it blends.
If you feel the milkshake is not thick enough, you can repeat the process with a little more corn flour mixed with water until you achieve the desired thickness.
Remember not to add too much corn flour at once, as it can make the milkshake too thick or affect the flavor. It's best to start with a small amount and gradually increase if needed. Additionally, keep in mind that the milkshake may thicken slightly more as it sits, so it's good to test its consistency before serving.
