Ever wondered why some milkshakes taste richer and smoother than others? Let’s take a moment to geek out about what makes the Galaxy Swirl Freakshakes irresistibly creamy and satisfying.

???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????

The high fat content in vanilla ice cream is key to creating that luxurious, silky texture. The fat molecules coat your tongue, making each sip feel indulgent and smooth.

???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????? ????

Heavy cream doesn’t just make the shake thicker—it also enhances the overall mouthfeel. Its richness blends seamlessly with the ice cream for a decadent base.

???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ????

Adding milk ensures the perfect consistency for sipping. Too much, and your shake becomes watery; too little, and it’s hard to blend.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ????

Using liquid or gel-based food coloring blends easily into the milkshake, giving it those vivid, cosmic hues without altering the flavor.

????????????????????????????????: ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ????

From whipped cream to sprinkles, toppings add visual and textural contrast. The interplay of creamy, crunchy, and chewy elements keeps every bite exciting!

????????????

Can I use non-dairy alternatives?

Absolutely! Swap out ice cream and milk with plant-based versions like almond or oat milk.

Where can I find edible glitter?

Most baking supply stores or online retailers carry edible glitter—just ensure it’s food-grade.

What other flavors can I use?

Experiment with chocolate or strawberry ice cream for a unique twist. Adjust food coloring as needed to maintain the galaxy theme.
