FAQS

Can I skip the custard powder?
Custard powder is essential for the creamy texture and flavor, but you can experiment with alternatives like cornstarch and vanilla extract.
How long can I store the milkshake?
It's best served fresh, but you can refrigerate the custard milk base for up to 2 days and blend it when ready to serve.
Can I make this milkshake vegan?
Yes, use almond milk or any plant-based milk and skip the ghee-roasted nuts for a vegan version.
What can I use instead of saffron?
