Have you ever tried a monster shake or freakshake? These over the top milkshakes are so easy to make at home!
The first step is decorating the glass. I chose to buy white premade cookie icing, you can definitely make your own. I squeezed a stripe around the edge and then spread it slightly with an icing spatula.
I rolled the rim in sprinkles and then used more frosting to apply the candy eyeballs. After you've got it as coated as you like, pop them into the freezer while you make the shakes.
We use a pretty standard milkshake base for ours, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract and milk. You can vary the flavors of ice cream, add mix ins, change out the extract or make them over 21 shakes by using your favorite liqueur.
Pour the shakes into the glasses and then top with a generous amount of whipped cream. Begin to add your treats. This time around I had store bought mini donuts, Witch's Brew Kit Kats and various shaped butter cookies. I used a skewer for the donuts to give the shake some height.
Then I started placing in the cookies and candy. After I had everything where I wanted it, I added more sprinkles and eyeballs.
I made two shakes. You can definitely decrease the size of the glass and make it 4 servings but be sure to choose something with a wide mouth so that you can really pack the goodies onto the top.
