How To Make Your Own Freakshake
I recommend starting with a simple ice cream base. Chocolate or Vanilla are usually the best to start. Then, pick a milk. If you’re dairy free/lactose intolerant, you can use soy or almond milk with dairy free ice cream. I like to use 2% milk in my creations.Β Then, think about different sauces and flavors for blending in. Maybe it’s some crushed up cookies, cereal or pieces of your favorite candy bar.
After you’ve blended all of your ingredients, you’ll want to grab a giant glass. Before pouring anything in, you’ll want to rim the glass with something sticky like marshmallow fluff, chocolate sauce, peanut butter or frosting. That way, you can stick your favorite treats to the side! To top it off, add some whipped cream and more decorations! Don’t forget a spoon & straw!
