No Beer Pairing Today
I’m sure we have been down this road before. The “Justine and Zach are obsessed with ice cream” road…I mean if there was ever a road to drive down, this would be the road. Don’t you agree?
Are you lost? I apologize. I blame Monday. Darn you Monday!
So anyway, I hope guys had a wonderful weekend! I hope the sun was shining, the pool was shimmering, and you guys pounded bowls and bowls of sweet, decadent ice cream.
I know that’s exactly what we did this past weekend! Zach goes through ice cream like water, you guys. Water! Sure, I have the daily scoop or two, but Zach? Well, he goes through about a pint a day. I know, he’s crazy, but who can blame him? It’s just so good! That’s why there was no complaint coming from him when I whipped up a batch of these strawberry cake batter milkshakes.
These milkshakes, friends, are soooo amazing. They are creamy, delicious, and they literally taste like cake batter. I have made a few cake batter milkshakes in my day; cake batter milkshakes made with dry cake mix and milkshakes made without dry cake mix. They are both delicious, but I thought I’d keep it a little more simple today and exclude the dry cake mix all together. You can easily accomplish that cake batter-like taste, with just a few simple ingredients: vanilla and almond extracts. These two ingredients are key you guys.
It’s all very simple. Whole milk, Nestle DREYER’s GRAND Lip Smackin’ Strawberry and Va-Va Vanilla Ice Creams, vanilla extract, and almond extract are all thrown together in a high-powered blender. Blended until perfectly creamy, rainbow sprinkles are folded in to give that “funfetti” effect. Pour into glasses, and serve. That’s seriously it! Fun, right? Ya, I know. So fun. The ice cream is so velvety and smooth. These two flavors make the perfect base for such a perfect summer treat.

We love ice cream here too! Love these shakes and all the sprinkles!

Ahhhhhh… strawberry milkshakes that taste like cake batter… I’m in love! :D
I’m glad you agree. :)
And this is why I need to move to where you are.. so that you can just make milkshakes for me all day! Deal!
Ummm yes! Please move to me! I’m stuck out here in the middle of nowhere! I could use some Krista closeness! <3
These are so festive and sound delicious!
Thanks Michelle!
How fun are those? Love how colourful they are! I haven’t had a milkshake in far too long, I think I need to remedy that!
I think you DEFINITELY need to remedy that! Thanks Stacey!
We are also an ice cream loving family, can’t wait to try this, my kids will love all the sprinkles!
Thanks so much Sara!
Oh man, I can never resist cake batter.
Me neither, Kim. Me neither. :)
These are, by far, the absolute cutest milkshakes I’ve ever seen! I love the sprinkles on top! #client
Thank you so much!
Cake batter is always a good idea and loving the strawberry milkshake version! And sounds like we need to get together for an ice cream date…we plow through ice cream too!
I’m thinking a BBQ with ice cream…This seriously needs to happen.
My fav part? The loaded sprinkles on top!! :)
Me too, Beth! Me too.
I love ice cream too! I WISH I could eat it every day but my waistline says otherwise! But you can guarantee that I would demolish these shakes! They look SO good!
Thank you so much Mariah!
So, so great!!! I LOVE this recipe, Justine. You are a milkshake genius. :)
And I can’t blame Zach. I’d go through a pint of ice cream per day if the waistline would allow it!
Haha! Wouldn’t we all?! Thanks, Blair!
Justine! This looks aMAHzing. I could eat ice cream every day right now. It is SOOOO hot here (not getting below 74 AT NIGHT). Must make!
Ewwwww!! I would die. I think I’d have to put a small freezer next to my bed. Thanks, Mary!
