Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned white frosting
- 1 cup M&M'S
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- ½ to ¾ cup Milk
- ⅔ cup White cake mix
- as needed Mini cupcakes
- as needed Fun straws
Instructions
- Prepare your milkshake glasses first: Use a knife to edge the tops of your glasses with about 1 inch of canned white frosting. Press M&M'S into the frosting to create a trail of candies around the tops of the glasses.
- Prepare the milkshakes: In a blender, place 4 extra large scoops of vanilla ice cream, ½ cup milk, ⅔ cup white cake mix, and ⅓ cup M&M'S. Blend until smooth, adding a little more milk if it’s too thick.
- Fill your milkshake glasses generously. Garnish with fancy fun straws and if desired, add mini cupcakes punched through the straws. To do this, use sharp scissors to snip a hole into the bottoms of the cupcake liners.

- Tip 2: You can freeze the milkshake mixture before blending if you want a thicker shake. Just remember to let it thaw slightly before blending.
- Tip 3: These milkshakes pair wonderfully with a light snack like popcorn or pretzels for a sweet and salty experience.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different cake flavors and toppings to create your own signature milkshake.
- Tip 5: Consider using smaller glasses for events, allowing guests to sample different flavors.
