How to Make a Hocus Pocus Halloween Milkshake
Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Pour and Decorate: Once the milkshake is blended to perfection, pour it into a tall, tulip-style glass, but make sure to leave some room for the fun toppings.
- Add the Whipped Cream: Now for the crowning glory—add a generous swirl of whipped cream. The fluffier, the better!
- Sprinkle Some Magic: Top it off with green and purple pearl sprinkles, a few black sprinkles, and, of course, candy eyes for that extra spooky touch.

Helpful Tips for the Best Halloween Milkshake
- Serve Immediately: To keep your milkshake nice and thick, serve it right after blending. It’s at its best when icy cold!
- Food Gel vs. Food Coloring: The neon green food gel is more vibrant than regular food coloring, which helps you get that signature Halloween green!
- Blending Tip: If your milkshake is too thick for your liking, feel free to add a splash more milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Substitutions and Variations
While this Hocus Pocus Halloween Milkshake is already bursting with spooky charm, here are a few fun ways to customize it:
- Different Ice Cream Flavors: Not a fan of lime? Swap out the lime sherbet for vanilla ice cream, then add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the same eerie look with a more neutral flavor.
- Vegan Version: Substitute dairy milk with almond milk or oat milk, and use a dairy-free sorbet or ice cream.
- Add Some Crunch: Crumble some Halloween-themed cookies or candy over the whipped cream for added texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?
It’s best to make the milkshake right before serving, as it can melt quickly. But if you need to prepare a bit in advance, you can blend the base and refrigerate it for up to 30 minutes before adding the toppings.
Can I use regular food coloring instead of food gel?
Yes, you can use regular food coloring, but it may not be as vibrant. I highly recommend using the neon green food gel to get that intense, witchy green color.
Storage Instructions
If you have any leftover milkshake (though I doubt you will!), you can store it in the freezer for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before drinking it again, or re-blend it with a little extra milk to smooth it out.
Conclusion
This Hocus Pocus Halloween Milkshake will have your guests under a delicious spell. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, it’s the perfect way to add a little extra magic to your Halloween festivities. Go ahead, give it a try, and let me know how yours turns out—bonus points if you manage to make it without sneaking a taste while blending! 🎃
