This indulgent dessert captures the essence of the Mediterranean but is also popular in India, which is why it's also called Anjeer Shake.

Notes

Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making the best Creamy Fig Milkshake like a pro:
  1. Chill your drinking glasses immediately after drizzling them with chocolate sauce. This keeps the milkshake cooler for longer.
  2. Letting ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes will help the milkshake blend easier.
  3. Avoid getting too vigorous with the blending.
  4. When blending, start with the lowest speed, then slowly work up to medium speed. Blend for 30 to 40 seconds.
  5. Add more milk or less milk to adjust the thickness of the shake.
  6. Use fresh, ripe, and sweet figs; it's okay if the skins have slight bruises or are torn.
  7. Dairy / Vegan: Swap the dairy and cream for dairy-free milk alternatives or your favorite.
  8. Ice Cream: Swap the vanilla ice cream for Chocolate Ice Cream. This is an excellent treat for the kiddies.
  9. Figs: Using other fruits to vary the milkshake is an excellent option. Some other fruits you might want to consider are fresh dates, bananas, kiwis, and strawberries.
  10. Protein: For a high-protein milkshake, add your favorite vanilla protein powder and some extra milk of your choice to thin it out.
  11. Optional Liqueur: For those extra special occasions, add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur, such as Bailey's Original or Disaronno Velvet Amaretto White Cream Liqueur.
