Notes

Adapted from Sugarhero.

Start by adding 5 large scoops of pink ice cream to a blender.

I used Cherry Chocolate Chunk.

Now add half a cup of French Vanilla creamer {or use milk}.

Finally add 1 cup of chopped fruit. I used strawberries. 

Blend until smooth.

Add a layer of pink frosting around the rim of both glasses. 

 Roll the frosting coated rims in decorative sprinkles until completely covered.

 Pour the milkshake into the cups.

 Fill to the top then get ready to decorate!

First top with whipped cream then add your favorite colorful toppings.

Stella loved adding lots of sprinkles.

We added cotton candy, colorful marshmallows, wafer cookies, 

Nerds ropes, and a unicorn horn lollipop!

 Stella’s last birthday party was a unicorn party and this treat was perfect for her special day!

 Add a straw {ours was candy coated because why not?} and drink up!

 Look at those faces! They are clearly excited to dig in!
