Ingredients
Milkshake
- 1.25 cups milk
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 vanilla cake donuts with sprinkles
- 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles (for rim garnish)
- ⅓ cup vanilla frosting (for rim garnish)
- 2 glazed donuts per glass (for garnish)
- 1 skewer topped with 3 small glazed donuts and 2-3 donut holes per glass (for garnish)
- Optional: chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: Chill your stand mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to ensure cold whipping. Then add 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form, indicating a thick and stable whipped cream ready to top your milkshake.
- Garnish Glass Rims: Take your serving glasses and coat the rims with ⅓ cup vanilla frosting. Immediately dip the frosted rims into ½ cup rainbow sprinkles, ensuring good coverage. Place the prepared glasses in the freezer to let the frosting set firmly, preventing sprinkles from falling off when adding the milkshake.
- Make the Milkshake: In a blender, combine 1.25 cups milk, 4 cups vanilla ice cream, 2 vanilla cake donuts (with sprinkles), and ½ cup vanilla frosting. Blend until smooth and creamy, fully incorporating all ingredients for a sweet, thick milkshake base.
- Assemble the Milkshake: Pour the blended milkshake evenly into the chilled, garnish-coated glasses. Top each milkshake with 2 full-sized glazed donuts placed on the rim or floating on top. Add a decorative skewer that has 3 small glazed donuts and 2-3 donut holes onto each glass for an impressive visual appeal.
- Final Touches: Insert a straw into each milkshake, pile a generous amount of the freshly whipped cream over the top, add more rainbow sprinkles if desired, and drizzle optional chocolate sauce over the whipped cream for an extra indulgent flair.
- Serve and Enjoy: Share these over-the-top donut milkshakes with friends or family, savoring the luscious combination of creamy milkshake, sweet donuts, and fun toppings.
