Indulgent caramel crunch freakshakes blend rich chocolate and caramel with crispy textures, creating a dessert sensation that delights sweet enthusiasts. Chocolate drizzles, crunchy toppings, and creamy milkshake layers invite you to savor pure dessert bliss.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream

Finishing Ingredients:

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Craft a rich caramel sauce by carefully melting granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, continuously stirring until it transforms into a deep amber hue.
  2. Incorporate butter into the melted sugar, stirring until fully integrated. Remove from heat and gradually introduce heavy cream, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky consistency.
  3. Blend sea salt into the caramel sauce, then set aside to cool slightly and develop deeper flavor notes.
  4. Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and a generous portion of prepared caramel sauce in a blender, processing until the mixture reaches a luxuriously smooth and creamy texture.
  5. Artfully drizzle additional caramel sauce along the interior walls of serving glasses, creating an elegant swirling pattern.
  6. Gently pour the blended milkshake into the prepared glasses, ensuring the caramel coating remains visible.
  7. Crown the milkshake with a lavish layer of whipped cream, creating a cloud-like peak.
  8. Sprinkle a delightful mixture of crushed pretzels and caramel candies over the whipped cream, adding a satisfying crunch and visual appeal.
  9. Finish by cascading an extra drizzle of caramel sauce across the top, creating a decadent final flourish.

Notes

  • Prevent sugar burning by stirring constantly and using medium heat when making caramel sauce to achieve a perfect amber color without bitter undertones.
  • Warm milk and slightly softened ice cream create smoother, more blendable milkshake consistency that prevents icy texture and ensures creamy results.
  • Chill glasses beforehand to keep freakshake cold longer and help caramel sauce stick better to glass sides for more dramatic presentation.
  • Customize for dietary needs by using dairy-free ice cream, plant-based milk, and gluten-free pretzels to make recipe accessible for various dietary restrictions.
