Milkshake
- 6 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1 cup milk
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- purple gel food coloring, a few drops
Decorations
- orange candy melts
- orange sanding sugar
- green sanding sugar
- purple sanding sugar
- oreo cookies
- can of vanilla frosting
- green M&Ms
Equipment
- piping bag
- large star tip
- offset spatula
- silicone bow mold
- Prepare the Milkshake: Combine the mint chocolate chip ice cream and milk in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the milkshake into prepared glasses.
- Make the Whipped Cream: Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes to ensure maximum whipping volume. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on high speed until the cream reaches soft peaks. Add a few drops of purple gel food coloring and continue beating until stiff peaks form and the color is fully incorporated. Transfer the purple whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and set aside.
- Create the Orange Candy Bow: Place a small amount of orange candy melts into a disposable piping bag or microwave-safe bowl. Melt the candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pipe or spoon the melted candy into a silicone bow mold. Tap the mold gently on the counter to release air bubbles. Refrigerate the mold for 5-10 minutes until the candy sets. Carefully pop the candy bows out and set aside for decorating.
- Decorate the Glasses: Using an offset spatula, spread a thin, even layer of vanilla frosting around the outside of each glass. Immediately sprinkle orange sanding sugar over the frosting, shaking off any excess. Repeat until the frosting is fully covered in the sanding sugar. Press green M&Ms into the frosting in a zig-zag pattern, placing five M&Ms on each glass.
- Assemble the Milkshake Presentation: Pour the milkshakes into the decorated glasses. Top each with a generous swirl of the purple whipped cream from the piping bag. Sprinkle a mix of green, orange, and purple sanding sugars over the whipped cream. Finish by placing one orange candy bow at the front center of the whipped cream and two Oreo cookies positioned on the sides for a festive Minnie Mouse witch look.
Notes
- Chilling the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream helps achieve stiff peaks faster and with better volume.
- If you don’t have a silicone bow mold, pipe bows onto parchment paper and refrigerate to set.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant color without thinning your whipped cream.
- Adjust the amount of milk in the milkshake to reach your preferred consistency.
- For a dairy-free alternative, use vegan ice cream and coconut-based whipped cream.
