🥫 Storage

This recipe makes one shake, which is a good thing because this won’t keep well at all. It becomes liquid in the refrigerator and a chunk of ice cream in the freezer.

💭 Tips

  • Keep the ice cream in the refrigerator until ready to blend so your frappuccino is nice and cold.
  • Remove the cake ball from the freezer when you’re ready to blend the frappuccino to keep it thick.
  • Chill your glass until ready to pour the shake in for the ultimate cold treat.
