Ingredients

  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp cotton candy extract
  • 2–3 drops food dye (pink, blue, green, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate
  • 2–4 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup cotton candy (pink and blue recommended)
  • Toppings of choice: whipped cream, sprinkles, rock candy, lollipops

Instructions

  1. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe dish in 20–30 second intervals until smooth.
  2. Dip the rims of serving glasses into the melted chocolate, then immediately into sprinkles. Set aside to harden.
  3. In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, cotton candy extract, and food coloring. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Pour into prepared glasses and top with cotton candy and other desired toppings.
  5. Serve immediately with straws or spoons.

Notes

  • Use pink or blue dye to match the cotton candy or create custom colors.
  • Layer different colored milkshakes for a rainbow effect.
  • Place cotton candy on top just before serving to prevent melting.
  • Use dairy-free ice cream and milk alternatives for a vegan version.
  • Store in freezer for up to 1 hour before serving; re-blend briefly before pouring.
