Easter Milkshake Recipe

Ingredients

Milk – We use 2%, but you can use any kind you want. For a non-dairy alternative, Silk coconut milk is a delicious option!
French vanilla ice cream – Go for the creamiest vanilla ice cream you can find. We like Breyers.
Cadbury mini eggs, chopped – Because what’s an Easter shake without Easter candy?
Whipped cream – The ultimate finishing touch for a creamy milkshake.

Note: Any of these ingredients can be swapped out for your personal favorite. Have fun experimenting!

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients.

2. Add the ice cream to a blender.

3. Top with milk.

4. Add half of the chopped mini eggs.

5. Blend until smooth and creamy.

6. Pour the milkshake mixture into a tall glass.

7. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.

8. Garnish with the remaining mini eggs.

9. Add a festive straw and enjoy your mini egg milkshake!

I found these teeny, tiny *new* micro mini eggs from Cadbury in the grocery store this year. They are so fun to create with and make the perfect little chocolate morsels for all of your Easter treat recipes.

However, if you can’t find micro mini eggs, chopping up regular-sized mini eggs works just as well.

Tips and Tricks

For a richer flavor, add vanilla extract before blending.
Use Cadbury creme eggs instead of mini eggs for an extra gooey surprise.
If you love extra crunch, don’t blend all the mini eggs—just stir some in after blending.
Store any leftover milkshake in an airtight container in the freezer and re-blend before serving.
Try swapping out vanilla ice cream for chocolate to switch things up.
