Storage/Reheating

Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh and cold. Unfortunately, once the milkshake has melted, it loses its texture and flavor. However, if you need to store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 hour. You can refreeze the shake, but expect a change in texture as it solidifies.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of cake mix for this recipe?

Yes! You can swap Funfetti cake mix for other cake mix flavors, such as chocolate or strawberry, for different variations of the milkshake.

2. Can I make this milkshake in advance?

It’s best to prepare it just before serving to ensure the best texture and taste. However, you can store leftovers in the freezer for a short period of time.

3. Is there a way to make this milkshake dairy-free?

Absolutely! Just use non-dairy vanilla ice cream and substitute regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk.

4. How can I make the milkshake thicker?

If you want a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream and reduce the amount of milk. You can also add a handful of frozen fruit for a different texture.

5. Can I adjust the sweetness of this milkshake?

Yes! Taste the milkshake after blending, and if you want it sweeter, simply add more Funfetti cake mix and blend again.

6. Can I use low-fat or skim milk?

Yes, you can use low-fat or skim milk, but keep in mind that the milkshake might not be as rich and creamy. Whole milk will provide the best texture.

7. How long should I blend the ingredients?

Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which usually takes around 30-60 seconds depending on your blender.

9. Can I use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream?

Yes, frozen yogurt works as a lighter alternative to ice cream. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture will change slightly.

10. How do I prevent the milkshake from getting too watery?

To avoid a watery milkshake, start with less milk and add more if needed. It’s easier to add more liquid than to remove excess.
