Ingredients

Scale

Milkshake Base

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings & Decoration

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Marshmallows (for ghost decoration)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and mouths)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the milkshake base: In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This mixture creates the creamy vanilla milkshake foundation.
  2. Blend: Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring a thick and well-mixed milkshake without any ice cream lumps.
  3. Serve: Pour the milkshake into glasses, filling them almost to the top for the perfect serving size.
  4. Add whipped cream: Generously top each milkshake with whipped cream to add a fluffy and rich texture contrast to the cold shake.
  5. Create marshmallow ghosts: Take individual marshmallows and press mini chocolate chips into them to form eyes and mouths, giving them a ghostly appearance.
  6. Garnish the milkshake: Place the decorated marshmallow ghosts on top of the whipped cream as cute and spooky edible decorations.
  7. Enjoy immediately: Serve the milkshakes straight away to enjoy the creamy texture and fresh toppings at their best.

Notes

  • For a thicker milkshake, use less milk or add more ice cream.
  • You can substitute vanilla ice cream for a dairy-free version to make this vegan friendly.
  • To enhance the vanilla flavor, try using a high-quality vanilla extract or add a splash of vanilla syrup.
  • Ready-made marshmallow ghosts can be used for convenience if available.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the marshmallows and whipped cream from melting or losing shape.
