These Halloween Milkshakes are a perfect treat! Made to look like ghosts, they are too cute to be scary! These delicious vanilla milkshakes are so tasty!
These are a hit with kids! Not only do the kids love to drink the milkshake, but they are also kid friendly to make.
Recently we made them and my daughter asked to make her own. She loved making them! I am not sure which part she loved more…making the faces or drinking the milkshake!
This vanilla milkshake is creamy and delicious. They would be great for a Halloween night at home or for a gathering.
Grocery Shopping List:
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Milk (we use skim milk)
- Chocolate Chips
- Whipped Cream
You will also need clear glasses for this recipe. We usually use 8-10 oz glasses for the milkshakes.
How to make the ghost milkshakes:
How to make the ghost faces:
First thing to do is to make the ghost faces on your glasses. Make them scary or friendly…whatever you feel prefer.
First, place the chocolate chips (in a microwave safe bowl) in the microwave. Heat them for 30 seconds and then stir the chocolate. If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, do additional 15 increments, stirring after each one, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
Line up your glasses on your kitchen counter or table. We use the end of a spoon handle to “paint” the melted chocolate onto the interior of the glasses to make the faces.
When making the ghost faces, dip the end of your spoon handle into the melted chocolate. Use a small amount of chocolate for each part of the face. If you put too much on the spoon, it might be too much and make more of a mess than a ghost face.
Once you have the faces done, place the glasses into the refrigerator so the chocolate can set. This takes about 30 minutes.
How do you know if the chocolate is set? Just gently press on the chocolate with a spoon or your finger. If it doesn’t move or smudge, you are good to go!
How to make the milkshake:
Place the ice cream and milk into your blender. Blend ingredients until they are mixed well. It should be a thick consistency, but not too thick that you cannot pour it out.
If needed, add more milk to make it thinner. Add a little milk at a time so that it doesn't become too thin.
If if you prefer it to be a thicker milkshake, add in a little more ice cream until you have the desired consistency.
How to make the Ghosts:
Pour the milkshake into your glasses. Leave about one inch to the top of each glass. That leaves room for the whipped cream.
Then take the Reddi Whipped Cream and swirl that around a few times to top off the ghost milkshake.
Serve right away and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
If you want the milkshake thinner, add more milk, adding a little milk at a time. If you prefer it thicker, add more ice cream until you have desired consistency.
This recipe makes about 4 ½ cups. How many servings you get depends on the size of the glasses that you use.
Make sure to only use a small amount of melted chocolate when doing each part of the face.
These ghost milkshakes would be a fun dessert for the Halloween! This would be a fun treat for your kids to have after going out trick or treating.
We love Halloween in our house. We decorate our house inside and out. My kids love to be home and hand out the candy…and be a little scary! Just hoping for good weather on Halloween... Where we live, it could snow, rain or be warm.
