📖How to Make Christmas Milkshakes
Step 1: Rim your milkshake glass by adding a small layer of frosting to the edge of the rim. Dip the rim in holiday sprinkles.
Step 2: Add the ice cream to your blender.
Step 3: Pour in the milk and food coloring and blend the mixture until smooth. If you’d like a brighter green color, you can add additional green food coloring and blend until your milkshake reaches the desired shade.
Step 4: Add the milkshake to your glass, and then top with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Tips & Tricks
- If you can’t find Bluebell Christmas Cookie ice cream, try mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, or even plain vanilla. You can also add chocolate chips, Christmas cookies, crushed candy canes, or other mix-ins.
- Give this shake even more Christmas flavor by using creamy vanilla ice cream and adding just a touch of peppermint extract.
- If your milkshake is too thick, add more milk to thin it out. If it’s too thin, you can add a bit more ice cream.
- Add a little bit of alcohol to make a fun, boozy version! You can choose any favorite variety, but amaretto, Irish cream, or coffee liqueur would all be delicious.
Milkshakes always taste best immediately after they are made, but if you have leftovers, you can freeze them for up to 24 hours. Just keep in mind that the texture won’t be exactly the same after it has been frozen and thawed. I’d also recommend covering your shake glass with plastic wrap before putting it in the freezer.
