Make the Milkshake: Add the ice cream to the blender and blend until smooth. Add the milk. Bland it well. Carefully, fold in the sprinkles. Be careful to avoid the blades.

Decorate the Glasses: Prep the glasses by adding the frosting around the top. Add the sprinkles to a shallow plate and then gently press the glass into the sprinkles.

Fill the Glasses: Carefully add the funfetti milkshake to the glasses. Leave some space at the top for whipped cream.

Add the Toppings: Add the whipped cream and then drizzle the top with chocolate syrup. Repeat this step twice to get a taller effect of the whipped cream. Using a wooden skewer place the marshmallows on skewer, using as much or as little as you wish! Then add your straw and you are ready to enjoy your Homemade Funfetti Milkshake!

🥄 Variations

Experiment with different ice cream flavors such as chocolate or strawberry for unique taste combinations.
Customize the sprinkles by using themed or seasonal varieties to suit different holidays or events.
Add a splash of flavored syrup such as caramel or chocolate for an extra layer of indulgence.
Delicious cake batter shake: Add 1/4 cup of Funfetti cake mix to the milkshake mixture for a birthday cake milkshake. White cake mix will infuse the milkshake with a hint of sweetness and a nostalgic cake batter taste, reminiscent of licking the bowl after baking. You can make the Funfetti Cake Batter Milkshake using your favorite cake mix or Funfetti boxed cake mix.

🍶 Storing

Vanilla milkshakes are best served right away. I do not recommend making them ahead of time.

💭Tip for Making the Perfect Funfetti Milkshake

Chill Ingredients: For an extra frosty milkshake, chill the vanilla ice cream and milk in the freezer for about 30 minutes before blending.
Use Vanilla Bean Paste: For a more intense vanilla flavor and the added visual appeal of vanilla bean specks, opt for vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract.
Add Sprinkles Last: Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently at the end of blending to preserve their vibrant colors and prevent them from bleeding into the milkshake mixture too much.
