How to Make These 4 Easy and Delicious Recipes with Nesquik

Okay, let’s get to the fun part – actually making these goodies! I’ve broken down each recipe step-by-step so you can follow along easily. Don’t overthink it, remember? We’re keeping it simple and delicious!

Nesquik Milkshake Instructions

This is probably the fastest one, perfect for when you need a treat *right now*. Grab your blender and make sure your milk is nice and cold – that’s key for a thick, frosty shake. Just pour in about 2 cups of cold milk and add about 4 tablespoons of Nesquik powder. You can adjust the amount of Nesquik depending on how chocolatey you like it! Pop the lid on tight (learned that the hard way once, oops!) and blend until everything is smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! Seriously, that’s it.

Nesquik Hot Chocolate Instructions

For a cozy, warm treat, hot chocolate is the way to go. Get a saucepan and heat up about 2 cups of milk over medium heat. You don’t want it to boil, just nice and warm. Once it’s warm, stir in about 4 tablespoons of Nesquik powder. Keep stirring until all the powder is completely dissolved and you have a smooth, chocolatey milk. Pour into your favorite mug and warm your hands! So comforting.

Nesquik Brownie Instructions

Okay, brownie time! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, grab a bowl and whisk together your melted butter, sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract until it’s all combined. In another bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: the flour, Nesquik powder, baking powder, and salt. Now, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. I like to do it in a couple of batches, mixing just until everything is combined. Don’t overmix! Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking pan. Pop it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. To check if they’re done, stick a toothpick in the center – it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Let them cool completely in the pan before you even *think* about cutting them. That helps them set up perfectly.

Nesquik Cookie Instructions

Cookie cravings? Nesquik has you covered! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together your softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the flour, Nesquik powder, baking soda, and salt. Now, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is just combined. Again, don’t overmix! Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. They don’t spread a ton, so you can get a good amount on there. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges look golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Resist the urge to eat them all hot off the pan… or don’t, I won’t tell!

Tips for Perfect 4 Easy and Delicious Recipes with Nesquik

Okay, so you’ve got the basic steps down, but here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up to make sure your Nesquik creations turn out absolutely perfect every single time. Trust me on these!

For the drinks, make sure your milk is really cold for milkshakes – it makes them extra thick and frosty. And when you’re making hot chocolate, don’t overheat the milk; just warm it gently so you don’t scald it. With the baked goods, the biggest thing is *not* to overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Just mix until everything is combined. Overmixing can make things tough, and nobody wants a tough brownie or cookie! Also, use good quality butter for those baked goods; it really does make a difference in the flavor and texture.

Variations for Your 4 Easy and Delicious Recipes with Nesquik

Okay, now that you’ve got the basics down, let’s talk about playing around a little! These recipes are super forgiving, so feel free to get creative. For the brownies or cookies, try tossing in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even white chocolate chunks before baking. With the milkshake and hot chocolate, the sky’s the limit for toppings! Think whipped cream, mini marshmallows, a drizzle of chocolate syrup (more chocolate, yes!), or even a sprinkle of cinnamon on the hot chocolate. And remember, you can always adjust the amount of Nesquik powder in any of these recipes to make them as subtly or intensely chocolatey as you like. Have fun with it!

Storage and Reheating

So you have leftovers? Amazing! (Or maybe you’re just planning ahead, smart you!) For the brownies and cookies, the best way to keep them fresh is in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay lovely and moist for a few days. Honestly, I rarely have leftovers of the brownies or cookies long enough to need to worry about reheating! But if you wanted to warm up a brownie, a few seconds in the microwave does the trick. The drinks are really best enjoyed right away, though – milkshakes lose their frosty magic, and hot chocolate cools down pretty quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About These 4 Easy and Delicious Recipes

Got questions? Totally understandable! Here are a few things people often ask about these simple Nesquik recipes:

Q: Can I substitute the milk?
A: Yes! For the milkshake and hot chocolate, you can absolutely use non-dairy milk alternatives like almond milk or oat milk. The flavor might change a tiny bit, but they’ll still be delicious Nesquik treats! For the baked goods, I recommend sticking to dairy milk for the best texture.

Q: Can I make the brownie or cookie dough ahead of time?
A: You can definitely make the cookie dough ahead! Just cover it and pop it in the fridge for a day or two, then scoop and bake as usual. The brownie batter is best baked right after mixing for the best results.

Q: How can I make these recipes less sweet?
A: Nesquik has sugar in it already, but you can try reducing the added sugar in the brownie and cookie recipes by a tablespoon or two if you prefer them less sweet. For the drinks, just use less Nesquik powder or skip any extra sugar if the milk isn’t sweetened.
