Keeping the Spook Alive

If you find yourself with a bit of our ghoulish delight left over, you can keep it! Just pour any extras into an airtight container and pop it into the freezer for up to a week. Make sure the shake is fully cooled before sealing it up.

When you’re in the mood for a quick, frosty treat, just pull it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes. This allows it to soften enough to blend easily with a spoon or whisk into a cool and creamy shake.
