Ideas Notes + Substitutions

We have a tendency to purchase this type and the feel is softer and makes the ultimate milkshake a bit of extra ethereal / foamy and feels much more just like the McDonald’s model to me.

• I used 10 drops of inexperienced meals dye to get the colourful shade you see in these images. Use much less if you would like a extra delicate shade or skip the meals dye altogether.
• Make your individual whipped cream or used a canned model for a extra genuine copy cat expertise. 🙂
• If you wish to make this dairy free you need to use dairy free ice cream, milk and whipped cream.
