Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup whipped cream (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed cookies (like Oreos or chocolate wafers)
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
- Colorful straws for serving
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. This makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla ice cream and whole milk. Use a sturdy spatula to help break up the ice cream a bit before blending.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Using a hand mixer or a blender, blend the mixture on low speed until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-blend; a thick consistency is desired.
- Once blended, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and crushed cookies with a spatula.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce inside the glasses to create a spiral effect.
- Pour the milkshake into the prepared glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a piping bag or spoon.
- Sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles on top of the whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry.
- Place colorful straws in each glass and serve immediately, optionally on a tray with extra sprinkles and cookies for guests.
Notes
- For a thicker milkshake, use less milk; for a thinner consistency, add more milk.
- Customize flavors by swapping vanilla ice cream for chocolate or strawberry, or adding flavored syrups.
- For indulgence, add a scoop of your favorite flavored ice cream along with the vanilla.
- Blend in frozen fruit like strawberries or bananas for a fruity version.
- Set up a milkshake bar with various toppings, syrups, and ice cream flavors for personalized creations.
