Last year I photographed some incredible milkshakes for The Pancake House menu, and we just finished shooting the new speciality hot chocolates coming to Vitale Cafe Bar this summer (they’re pretty spectacular too).
So it looks like delicious drinks topped with a towering mountain of whipped cream and extravagant toppings are here to stay.
They’re known as ‘freakshakes’ and the Easter weekend is the perfect time for you to try your own. They’re completely over-the-top, but if there comes a moment when you think ‘I simply couldn’t eat another chocolate egg…but perhaps I could drink one?’ then this is the recipe for you.
I’ve created three versions (each recipe makes two very indulgent shakes), but don’t be afraid to try out something different. Happy Easter!
Creme Egg Freakshake
Mix the following together in a blender until smooth and frothy:
- 500ml whole milk
- 2 Creme Eggs
- 3 generous scoops of chocolate ice cream
- a good squeeze of chocolate syrup
Toppings:
Nutella or melted chocolate
Mini Eggs
Whipped or squirty cream
Chocolate sauce
A chocolate flake
Creme Egg
Method:
1 Coat the edge of your glass with Nutella or melted chocolate
2 Stick on broken mini eggs and fill in the gaps with sprinkles
3 Pour the shake into your decorated glass, top with cream, chocolate or chocolate syrup, a flake and a Creme Egg on a wooden barbecue skewer
4 Drink immediately and scoop out the bits of chocolate at the bottom with a spoon!
Strawberry Doughnut Freakshake
Mix the following together in a blender until smooth and frothy:
- 500ml whole milk
- 1 ring or jam doughnut

Toppings:
Ring doughnut

2 Pour some strawberry sauce into the bottom of your glass then add the shake
3 Top with a doughnut and drink straight away
Raspberry Cheesecake Freakshake
Mix the following together in a blender until smooth and frothy:
- 500ml whole milk

Small slice of cheesecake
Melted white chocolate
Biscuit crumbs
Raspberry sauce
Fresh raspberries on a skewer
Method:
1 Coat the edge of your glass with melted white chocolate and drizzle a little inside the glass. Sprinkle the rim with biscuit crumbs
2 Pour the shake into your glass and top with cream, the raspberry sauce, crumbs and the raspberry skewer
3 Enjoy immediately!
From all the team at Center Parcs, have a fantastic Easter weekend (and we went this whole article without an egg pun, so you’re welcome. Cracking.)
