FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute whole milk with skim, almond, oat, or any milk alternative, but whole milk will give the creamiest texture.

Can I make this milkshake vegan?

To make a vegan version, use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and a plant-based milk such as almond or coconut milk. Ensure the whipped cream topping is also vegan.
