Description

Enjoy a festive birthday party milkshake made with creamy vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and vibrant sprinkles, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Perfect for celebrations or a sweet treat any day!


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

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. This makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture to enhance the flavor.
  4. 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.
  5. Once blended, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and crushed cookies with a spatula.
  6. Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce inside the glasses to create a spiral effect.
  7. Pour the milkshake into the prepared glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a piping bag or spoon.
  9. Sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles on top of the whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry.
  10. 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.
