Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (approximately 4 scoops)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp cake batter extract

Garnishes

  • Sprinkles
  • Whipped Cream
  • Mini cupcakes


Instructions

  1. Add Ice Cream: Start by adding 4 heaping scoops (2 cups) of vanilla ice cream into a blender, which forms the creamy base of your milkshake.
  2. Add Milk: Pour in 1/2 cup of whole milk to help blend the ice cream smoothly and achieve the perfect milkshake consistency.
  3. Add Cake Batter Extract: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cake batter extract to infuse the milkshake with the classic birthday cake flavor.
  4. Blend: Use the pulse setting on the blender to mix the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no ice cream chunks remain.
  5. Serve & Garnish: Pour the milkshake evenly into two tall glasses. Top each with whipped cream, a generous sprinkle of colorful sprinkles, and a mini cupcake for an extra festive touch. Add candles if desired for a celebration-ready treat!

Notes

  • Use full-fat vanilla ice cream and whole milk for the creamiest texture.
  • Adjust the amount of cake batter extract to taste; some brands vary in strength.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with non-dairy ice cream and milk.
  • Mini cupcakes are optional but add a fun birthday party flair.
  • If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream or reduce the milk slightly.
