What is an extreme milkshake?
An extreme milkshake, also known as a “freakshake” is just what it sounds like: a milkshake, on steroids. These over-the-top desserts are topped with a tower of all things candy, pastries, whipped cream… you name it, it’s probably been put on a freakshake.
But we think our matcha version takes the cake! (Pun intended)
What kind of matcha should I use?
Our Culinary Grade Matcha is perfect for this recipe! Made from second harvest tea leaves, culinary matcha has a slightly more robust bitterness, making it a perfect counterpart for the sweet ice cream (and tons of candy toppings!)

Here’s everything we used to top our freakshake:
- Matcha pocky sticks
- Matcha egg roll
- Assorted mochi
- Matcha kit-kat
- Matcha birthday cake
- Whipped cream
Ingredients
- Sprinkles
- White chocolate melting wafers
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp culinary grade matcha, sifted
- Whipped cream
- Assorted toppings
Directions:
- Pour the sprinkles onto a plate. Roll rim of milkshake glass in melted white chocolate; now roll rim in sprinkles so they stick. Set aside to harden while you make the milkshake.
- To a blender, add ice cream, milk, and sifted matcha; blend until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
- Pour matcha milkshake into prepared glass; Add whipped cream and toppings. Enjoy!
