Skittles Strawberry Milkshake

Ingredients Needed Skittles Strawberry Milkshake

  • Homemade Style Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Strawberry Skittles Freeze Pops (Frozen)
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • White Chocolate Almond Bark
  • Strawberry Skittles
  • Whipped Cream

How To Make Skittles Strawberry Milkshake

Almond Bark in Glass Bowl

In a small to medium-sized bowl, melt 9 oz. of white chocolate almond bark in the microwave. Melt the chocolate in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Set the chocolate aside and let it cool. We want the chocolate to have the consistency of slightly melted peanut butter…NOT super runny. Runny chocolate will not allow us to attach the strawberry Skittles to the glass.

Skittles Attached To Glass with White Chocolate

Just as soon as the chocolate has cooled enough so that it isn’t running all over the place, dip the rim of your favorite milkshake glass into the chocolate. Evenly submerge the rim so that you have around ¼ to ½ in. of chocolate around the top of the glass.


Once you have coated the rim of the glass in white chocolate, gently place some strawberry Skittles side-by-side around the rim and set the glass in the refrigerator to cool and allow the chocolate to set.

Tips To Make This Perfect:

Pro Tip: As you pull the glass out of the chocolate, tilt it at a 45-degree angle and slowly rotate the glass so that the chocolate runs around the rim of the glass as it cools and does not drip down the inside or outside of the glass. If it does slightly run, simply wipe it off before it cools.

Pro Tip: Make sure that your hands are completely dry as you handle the Skittles. The red candy coating of a Skittle is VERY sensitive to moisture and will run if it gets wet. So, make sure your fingers are dry so that you don’t get red dye on your fingers or the white chocolate.

Pro Tip: Do not place the glass and Skittles in the freezer to cool. The freezer will cause the glass and Skittles to frost once they are removed from the freezer, and the red candy coating of the Skittles could run.

Fresh Strawberries On Cutting Board


Slice and quarter 1 ½ cups of fresh strawberries and place them in a small bowl and set aside.

Frozen Ice Pops on Counter

Having prepared the strawberries, remove 12 strawberry Skittles freeze pops from the freezer and gently crush them with a meat tenderizer or edge of the counter. Cut open the end of each frozen pop and push the contents into a medium-sized bowl.

Skittles Strawberry Milkshake

Some Tips:

Only use frozen freeze pops. Using thawed freeze pops will add too much liquid to the milkshake and will make it runny.

To separate the strawberry Skittles freeze pops from the other flavored Skittles freeze pops in the sheet, flex the freeze pop back and forth several times before attempting to pull it apart from the adjoining pops.

Vanilla Ice Cream In Blender


In a blender, add 2 cups of homemade-style vanilla ice cream (approximately 8 scoops) and the crushed Skittles freeze pops. Blend the ice cream and freeze pop until the milkshake is an even pink color.

Tips:

Use homemade-style vanilla ice cream. Its creamier and heavier vanilla taste will complement the strawberry Skittles freeze pops more so than regular vanilla ice cream.

DO NOT over-blend the milkshake at this point. You want the milkshake to be very thick. Adding the strawberries to the milkshake in the next step will thin out the milkshake.

Once the milkshake is a nice, even pink color, add the cut and quartered strawberries to the blender and blend them with the milkshake. Blend the milkshake until you reach your favorite milkshake consistency!

Now that we are in the home stretch remove the chocolate and skittles topped milkshake glass from the refrigerator and pour your amazing creation into it!

Pro Tips For The Best Skittles Milkshake Recipe

  • Use quality ice cream: Opt for high-quality ice cream with a rich and creamy texture. Premium brands or homemade ice cream can elevate your milkshake’s flavor and overall experience.
  • Experiment with flavors: While classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate are always popular, don’t hesitate to get creative with different ice cream flavors. Consider unique options like cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip, or salted caramel to add exciting twists to your milkshake.
  • Add mix-ins: If you enjoy added texture and flavor in your milkshakes, consider incorporating mix-ins such as crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts. Add them to the milkshake mixture, stirring gently until well combined.
  • Serve immediately: Milkshakes are best enjoyed right after preparation while they are creamy. Serve them in individual mugs or glasses and immediately top them with your favorite toppings for maximum enjoyment.
  • Get creative with toppings: Enhance your milkshake’s visual appeal and flavor by adding a variety of toppings. Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel drizzle, sprinkles, crushed cookies, or a cherry on top can make your milkshake even more enticing.
  • Share and enjoy: Milkshakes are a wonderful treat for friends and family. Serve them as a delightful dessert or a fun party drink that everyone can enjoy together.
