Storage
Milkshakes will not keep in the fridge because it will just melt. If you need to store it, freezing is the best option. It will last up to a month in a freezer container.
Just keep in mind that it loses the milkshake texture once frozen.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the texture. If your milkshake is too thick, add more milk. If the milkshake is too thin, then add more ice cream to thicken it up. This is based on preference and easily adjusted.
- Chill the glasses. Place the glasses in the freezer before pouring the milkshake. This will help to keep the milkshakes cold.
- Good quality ingredients. Use a good quality brand of ice cream for the best taste and texture.
- Serving with a straw and spoon. We like to place a colorful and pretty straw in the glass. It is also handy to have a long handled spoon in the glass.
Milkshake Toppings
- Chocolate Syrup. Drizzle chocolate sauce or Hot Fudge Sauce on top of the whipped cream. You can also drizzle the glass with chocolate before you add the milkshake. Yum!
- Sprinkles. Top the milkshake with sprinkles to make it even more festive. You can choose seasonal options or chocolate ones for more chocolate taste.
- Dark Chocolate. Top with dark chocolate shaving on top of the milkshake.
- Crushed Peppermint. Sprinkle crushed peppermint on top of each milkshake.
