FAQ
1. Can I make this milkshake without a blender?
Yes! You can mix the ingredients by hand using a whisk or fork, though the texture won’t be as smooth.
2. What type of brownies work best?
Fudgy brownies create a richer milkshake, while cakey brownies make it lighter. Either will work, so choose based on your preference!
3. Can I make this ahead of time?
Since milkshakes melt quickly, it’s best made fresh. However, you can blend everything and freeze it, then re-blend before serving.
