Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use your favorite dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk. Coconut or almond-based ice creams work wonderfully and give a nice flavor dimension. Just make sure they're vanilla flavored!

Why is my milkshake too runny?

This usually happens when the ice cream gets too warm or you've added too much milk. Start with less milk than you think you need – you can always add more! Also, using ice cream that's just slightly softened (not melty) gives the best results.

Can I make this ahead for a party?

The decorated glasses can be prepared hours in advance, but the milkshake itself is best made just before serving. For parties, have all ingredients measured and ready, then quickly blend batches as needed.

How can I make my milkshake thicker without diluting the flavor?

Freeze your glasses beforehand, use slightly less milk, and add an extra scoop of ice cream. A trick professional shake makers use is adding a tablespoon of powdered milk, which thickens without watering down the flavor.

Instructions

Decorate the Glass Rims
Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring at intervals until mostly melted. Then, prepare a wide, shallow bowl filled with rainbow sprinkles. Dip the rim of each glass into the melted white chocolate and then into the bowl with sprinkles, coating the white chocolate entirely. Set the glasses aside to cool and set.
Blend the Milkshake
In a blender, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Then, add the vanilla ice cream to the mix. Blend the ingredients together for about 15-30 seconds, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with no ice cream chunks remaining.
Assemble and Serve
Pour the milkshake mixture into the prepared glasses. Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top, followed by extra sprinkles for decoration. Enjoy your beautifully crafted milkshake immediately!

Notes

For an extra frosty milkshake, chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling.
If you prefer a thicker milkshake, use less milk. Add more milk for a thinner consistency.
You can substitute the white chocolate with any type of chocolate that melts easily.
Customize the sprinkles for special occasions or holidays to add a festive touch.
