🍳 Methods & Tips

🔹 Classic Creamy Method

📜 History & Inspiration

Milkshakes have been a beloved treat since the early 20th century, evolving from simple milk-based drinks into rich, dessert-like beverages. Marshmallows became popular in sweets during the 1900s, and Peeps—introduced in the 1950s—quickly became an Easter icon. This recipe blends these traditions into a modern, festive twist that celebrates both nostalgia and creativity.
