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

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.

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.
