This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Ingredients:

Makes 2 large shakes
  • 5 scoops pink ice cream {I used Cherry Chocolate Chunk}
  • 1 cup fresh fruit such as strawberries or raspberries, chopped
  • ½ cup French Vanilla creamer {or milk}
  • ¼ cup hot pink frosting
  • variety of unicorn sprinkles {I used Wilton and Sweets and Treats brands}
  • whipped cream, for topping
  • toppings like lollipops, cotton candy, colored marshmallows, nerds candy ropes, and wafer cookies

Directions:

  1. Add ice cream, fruit, and French Vanilla creamer to a blender.
  2.  Blend until smooth.
  3. Add a layer of pink frosting around the rim of both glasses. 
  4. Roll the frosting coated rims in decorative sprinkles until completely covered.
  5. Pour the milkshake into the cups. 
  6.  Top both with whipped cream.
  7. Now the fun part! Decorate your shakes with more colorful sprinkles, marshmallows, cookies, lollipops, cotton candy, and any other treat you think is delish.
  8. Add a straw and drink up!

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!

Final Florida lunch with my Dad at a local hotspot: @stewbyseafoodshanty on Okaloosa Island. They have multiple locations but this one is by far my favorite. New, clean, beautiful scenery, and lots of space inside and outside.
🐟🐠🎣
I could eat here every day. Their seafood is the BEST. For lunch we tried their grilled grouper sandwich and seafood combo plate with amberjack, grilled shrimp, fried oysters, and all the sides and sauces to go with it (check out those scrumptious cheese grits)! 
🐟🐠🎣
Next door they have a seafood market, gift shop, and new steamer restaurant with steam buckets of shrimp, crab, and flounder with all the fixins. ⬅️ I know what I am ordering next time! Their motto: local fish at local prices. Check them out and thank me later.

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤
