Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream (about 6 scoops)
- 1 cup whole milk (cold)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Purple food coloring
- Green food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (for garnish)
- Sprinkles in Halloween colors (purple, green, orange, black)
- Edible glitter (optional)
- Candy eyes
- Green and purple sanding sugar (for rimming the glass)
- Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
- Colored straws and decorative toppers (optional)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the glasses.
Begin by rimming the milkshake glasses with chocolate sauce. Pour the chocolate sauce onto a small plate, then dip the rim of each glass into the sauce. Immediately dip the chocolate-coated rim into green and purple sanding sugar to create a festive look. Set the glasses aside.
Step 2: Blend the milkshake.
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add colors.
Divide the milkshake mixture into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of purple food coloring to one bowl, green food coloring to the second bowl, and orange food coloring to the third bowl. Stir each bowl until the colors are well blended.
Step 4: Layer the milkshake.
Carefully pour the different colored milkshakes into the prepared glasses in layers to create a swirled effect. For best results, use a spoon to control the pouring and keep the layers distinct.
Step 5: Garnish the milkshake.
Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Add sprinkles, candy eyes, and edible glitter for a magical touch. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the whipped cream and insert a fun-colored straw. For an extra spooky effect, you can add a decorative topper, such as a plastic spider or a mini witch hat.
Notes
- When blending the milkshake, avoid over-mixing, as it can cause the mixture to become too runny. You want a thick and creamy consistency that holds the layers.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without needing to add too much liquid, which can thin out the milkshake.
