Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
???? 3 scoops vanilla ice cream (or caramel-flavored for extra punch)
-
???? 1 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk)
-
???? ½ cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
-
???? 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, to boost sweetness)
-
???? 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for caramelizing toppings)
-
???? ½ cup crushed toffee bits, crushed peanuts, or crushed caramel candies (for crunch)
-
???? Chocolate chips or chunks (optional for extra texture)
-
???? Whipped cream (for topping)
-
???? Cookie crumbs or crushed pretzels (for rim garnish)
-
???? Sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or chocolate drizzle (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Step 1:
Prepare your serving glasses by drizzling caramel sauce generously around the inside of the glass. For extra flair, dip the rim in melted butter then into cookie crumbs or crushed pretzels to create a crunchy rim.
Step 2:
In a blender, add vanilla ice cream, milk, caramel sauce, and brown sugar (if using). Blend until smooth but thick and creamy.
Step 3:
Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, add crushed toffee bits or peanuts, and lightly toast them until golden and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Step 4:
Pour the blended milkshake into the prepared glasses, leaving some space at the top for toppings.
Step 5:
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle the toasted caramel crunch mixture, chocolate chips, and any other toppings you love.
Step 6:
Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream and toppings for an irresistible finish.
Step 7:
Serve immediately with a thick straw and a long spoon—this freakshake is meant to be devoured both ways!
Notes
-
Using whole milk or creamier dairy alternatives ensures a thick, luscious shake.
-
Toast the crunchy toppings lightly to unlock their full flavor and add a warm, nutty note.
-
If your shake is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
