How to Make S’mores Freakshakes Milkshake

Ingredients:

7.75 ounces (5 bars) HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate, divided
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream (plus 1/2 pint for assembly)
1 cup whole milk
½ cup crushed graham crackers
1 graham cracker, crushed
1.55 ounces (1 bar) HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2 large marshmallows
Milkshake glasses
Large open star piping tip
Piping bags
Kitchen torch

Directions:

Heat chocolate in the microwave on 30-second intervals until melted. Chill the melted chocolate in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until it becomes thick enough to spread. Set aside 1/2 cup for assembly.
Use the back of a spoon to spread a layer of melted chocolate around the inside of your glass. Spread more around the rim of the glass. It should be thick—if it starts to harden, you can microwave it on 10-second intervals until it softens.
Make the chocolate shake by blending the ice cream, milk, 1/2 cup of the melted chocolate, and crushed graham crackers until smooth.
Use the leftover melted chocolate as ‘glue’ to attach pieces of HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bars to the rim of the glass. Microwave it on 10-second intervals if the chocolate starts to seize.
Spoon a generous amount of ice cream into the glass. Pour in the milkshake mixture.
Pipe whipped cream on top using the open star piping tip.
Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Place two large marshmallows on a heat-safe surface and toast with a kitchen torch until golden brown.

How to Serve S’mores Freakshakes Milkshake

Serve immediately while everything is cold and the toppings are fresh. These shakes are best enjoyed with a straw and a spoon, allowing you to delve into those layers of chocolate, ice cream, and whipped cream. Don’t forget to keep some extra graham crackers on the side for dipping!

How to Store S’mores Freakshakes Milkshake

S’mores Freakshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a day. However, keep in mind that the texture may change when thawed, and toppings like whipped cream and toasted marshmallows should be added fresh for the best experience.

Tips to Make S’mores Freakshakes Milkshake

Ensure your ingredients are of high quality, especially the chocolate, as it greatly influences the flavor of the shake.
For an extra touch, consider using flavored whipped cream or adding layers of cookie crumbles.
If you’re short on time, you can skip making the chocolate layer on the glass and simply fill it with the shake.

Variation

Feel free to customize your freakshakes! You can use flavored ice creams like chocolate or cookie dough. Additionally, consider adding caramel sauce or different types of chocolate (like dark or white chocolate) for unique flavor combos.

FAQs

1. Can I make this shake gluten-free?

3. Can I prepare the ingredients in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chocolate layer and milkshake mixture ahead of time. Just store the chocolate in the fridge and blend the shake when you’re ready to serve.
