Ingredient Notes

Chikoo (aka Sapota or Sapodilla): Sometimes spelled as chikku or chickoo.
In India, chikoos are mostly available from May to July, and sometimes during winter (Jan–Feb).
In the USA, you may not always find fresh ones, but frozen chikoo pulp or chunks are available year-round.
If your fresh chikoo is rock hard, let it ripen on the counter until soft and juicy. A perfectly ripe chikoo will have a soft, melt-in-the-mouth, slightly grainy texture — ideal for a milkshake.
Milk: Use full-fat whole milk for a rich and creamy texture, especially since we’re not using ice cream. Low-fat or skim milk works too, but it won’t be as creamy.
Sugar: Just a little is added to sweeten the milkshake. Adjust depending on how sweet your fruit is.

How to Make Chikoo Milkshake? (pics)

Peel the skin using a knife or peeler. Cut it in half, remove all the black seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
Transfer the chopped chikoo into a blender jar. Taste a small piece of chikoo. Depending on how sweet it is, add sugar.
Pour in cold milk.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a serving glass and enjoy immediately.

Expert Tips

Use chilled ingredients: If using fresh chikoo, refrigerate the fruit beforehand. Also use chilled milk to get an instantly cold milkshake without needing ice.
Adjust sweetness: Chikoo sweetness can vary. Taste before blending and adjust the sugar as needed.
Use ripe fruit only: Always use fully ripe chikoo. It should be soft to the touch and have a sweet, caramel-like aroma. Unripe fruit can taste chalky or bland.
Frozen chikoo shortcut: If using frozen chikoo, there’s no need to chill the fruit. Just thaw slightly for easier blending and proceed with the recipe.
Ice cream version: Add a scoop of vanilla or chikoo ice cream per serving for a creamier, dessert-style shake. If doing this, reduce the added sugar.
