FUN FACT

Is the Frozen Mudslide a dessert, milkshake or drink? We may never know the answer, but give it a try and let us know what you think…

Did you know that the Frozen Mudslide is typically blended with ice and ice cream for a thick, creamy texture, while a regular Mudslide is shaken with ice and served over ice or straight up, without the ice cream. Check out the Mudslide recipe here!

PRO TIPS

1. After giving your glass a delicious chocolate swirl, pop it in the freezer whilst you blend up your drink. This secret step keeps your glass ice-cold and the chocolate swirl perfectly set, adding a touch of decadence and a visual wow-factor to your cocktail. Shhh, it’s our little trick for making your Frozen Mudslide extra special!

2. The creaminess of your Frozen Mudslide depends heavily on the quality of ice cream you use. We recommend opting for a rich, premium vanilla ice cream to ensure a smooth and indulgent texture.

3. Want your Frozen Mudslide to be thick and creamy? Blend in short bursts instead of one long mix! This way, your ice stays icy, and your drink stays luscious.
