Batido de Trigo (Cuban Wheat Shake)
Batido de trigo is a creamy Cuban milkshake made with sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, sugar, and puffed wheat cereal. It’s nostalgic, comforting, and comes together in just 10 minutes. Whether you sip it on its own or serve it alongside a Cuban sandwich, this one’s sure to become a favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk*
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, or more to taste
- 1 cup puffed wheat cereal
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, puffed wheat cereal, salt, and ice to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minute.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash more milk. The puffed wheat cereal will mostly dissolve, giving the milkshake its signature texture.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite Cuban sandwich.
Notes
*Sub for almond milk or evaporated milk (however evaporated milk may alter the flavor slightly)
**Mami swears by her little twist... tossing in a banana. It’s not traditional, but it makes the batido de trigo extra creamy with a hint of natural sweetness. My uncle can always tell when she’s made it, because that banana version is his absolute favorite. Consider this a Cuban mom insider tip!
