Ingredients Needed
To make this easy milkshake recipe, you only need a few easy to find ingredients. Four, to be exact.
To make it you’ll need:
- Ice Cream – Vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- Milk – You can use a high fat milk or low fat in this; however, the thicker or thinner consistency due to fat content will yield a thicker or thinner milkshake.
- Cake Mix – Boxed funfetti cake mix
- Sprinkles – Rainbow jimmies, the same kind use in funfetti cake mix
Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, you’re ready to whip up a batch!
How To Make
Making a milkshake is super easy, and making this cake batter flavored version is just as convenient- even with the extra ingredients.
Simply add all of the ingredients, except for the sprinkles, to a high powered blender. Cover and blend until the mixture’s smooth and creamy.
You can add a teensy bit of extra milk if it’s too thick for your liking. Be careful not to add to much because a little goes a long way, and a good milkshake should always be thick and creamy.
Pour the milkshake into two small glasses, if sharing, or one large one.
Top with sprinkles, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Storing
Milkshakes do not store well; therefore, it’s best to make these when you can enjoy them right away.
Tips & Tricks
- You can use any vanilla ice cream in this recipe, name brand or store brand. Quality isn’t as important since the added flavors are going to cover up the taste of the original ice cream anyway.
- If the finishes milkshake is too thick for your taste, you can thin it by blending in a little bit of extra milk. Be careful not to be too heavy handed with the pour though, because a little goes a long way here.
- Like your milkshakes topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream? Feel free to top these with whipped cream, and even a maraschino cherry if you’d like. Just be sure to finish them off with a rainbow sprinkle finish.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re serving a larger group.
