Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 tub vanilla ice cream
- 2 large containers cotton candy
- 3 cups milk (720 milliliters)
- 4 tablespoons sugar (60 milliliters)
Additional Ingredients:
- Pink food coloring
- Blue food coloring
Garnish (Optional):
- Blue or pink sugar crystals
Instructions
- Prepare the blender by scooping vanilla ice cream, tearing cotton candy into pieces, and adding sugar and milk. Select either pink or blue food coloring to create the first vibrant layer. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until the mixture reaches a silky, smooth consistency.
- Optional glass decoration involves moistening glass rims and dipping them into sugar crystals for a festive, sparkling appearance. This step can be skipped without compromising the milkshake’s overall aesthetic.
- Carefully pour the first colored milkshake layer into glasses, filling them approximately halfway. Immediately transfer glasses to the freezer for a quick chilling period.
- Clean the blender thoroughly, then recreate the initial blending process using identical ingredients but with the alternate food coloring (blue if pink was used initially). Blend until achieving a smooth texture.
- Remove glasses from freezer and gently pour the second colored layer directly into the center of each glass, filling to the brim. This technique creates a stunning layered effect with colors swirling together.
- Crown each milkshake with a generous, fluffy tuft of cotton candy, transforming the drink into a whimsical and visually appealing dessert.
Notes
- Freeze glasses beforehand to maintain layer separation and create a stunning visual presentation with crisp color divisions.
- Choose high-quality vanilla ice cream with a rich, creamy base to enhance the overall milkshake smoothness and flavor depth.
- Substitute regular sugar with powdered sugar for smoother blending and a more integrated sweetness throughout the milkshake.
