Notes
- Best enjoyed immediately while cold and creamy.
- Can substitute dairy milk with coconut, almond, oat, or soy milk for dietary preferences.
- Adjust milk quantity for desired thickness: use less milk for a thicker milkshake, more for a thinner consistency.
- Marshmallow ghosts can be made several days ahead and stored in an airtight container.
- Customize with different ice cream flavors or add flavor boosters like pumpkin spice for seasonal variations.
- For a lower sugar version, use sugar-free ice cream and whipped cream.
