Description

This milkshake recipe just made it easier to “taste the rainbow!” With just 3 simple ingredients, you can bring a unique, new and refreshing twist to a beloved classic! We spent a lot of time perfecting (TASTE TESTING!) this recipe to get the ratios just right and hit a home run. Perfect for a hot summer day or an evening treat, a strawberry Skittles milkshake will not disappoint!

Ingredients 

Milkshake:

  • 4 cups Homemade Style Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 12 Strawberry Skittles Freeze Pops frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries, halved and quartered

Serving:

  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Skittles
  • 9 ounces White Chocolate Almond Bark , melted
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup Strawberries

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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. 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, wipe it off before it cools.
  • 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. 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.
  • Slice and quarter 1 ½ cups of fresh strawberries and place them in a small bowl and set aside.
  • 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-size bowl. Pro Tip: Only use frozen freeze pops. Using thawed freeze pops will add too much liquid to the milkshake and will make it runny. Pro Tip: 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.
  • 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 pops until the milkshake is an even pink color. Pro Tip: Use homemade style vanilla ice cream. Its creamier and heavier vanilla taste will complement the strawberry Skittles freeze pops more than regular vanilla ice cream. Pro Tip: 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!
  • For the PERFECT presentation, top your strawberry Skittles milkshake with fresh whipped cream, and of course…add a strawberry on top!Insert a straw and “taste the rainbow!”
