This kaju anjeer milkshake is a protein-packed sweet treat made with 4 ingredients only. 

Kaju means cashews and anjeer means figs. Hence this is called cashew fig milkshake.

About This Recipe

  • Healthy: This kaju anjeer milkshake is a healthy and nutritious shake for growing kids. Dried figs are rich in fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamin K. 
  • With or Without Ice Cream: Here I have added ice cream just like any other classic milkshake recipe. But this can be made without ice cream and still it will be rich and creamy.
  • Taste and Texture: This cashew fig milkshake is a sweet, creamy, rich and thick milkshake with a crunch of tiny fig seeds in every sip.
  • Some Prep Required: Soaking dried figs for at least 4 hours is required as figs have tough skin and it is hard to grind. So after soaking skin will get soft and easy to grind.

How To Make Kaju Anjeer Milkshake? (Pics) 

  1. Take dried figs and cashews in a bowl and add enough water to just cover them. Do not add too much water. Soak for at least 4 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator) covered. They absorb all the water and figs will get plump up and become soft.
  2. Chop the figs into small pieces. Drain the excess water if any is left after soaking.
  3. Add cashews and figs into the blender along with milk and ice cream scoops.
  4. Blend it until smooth, pour into the glass and serve.

Expert Tips For Anjeer Milkshake

  • Soaking cashews and fig is an important step. If soaking for more than 4-5 hours then keep in the refrigerator.
  • You can add a teaspoon or two of sugar if you prefer a sweet kaju anjeer milkshake. For me, sweetness from figs and ice cream was enough.
  • You can skip adding ice cream and make it healthy for your kids.
