Instructions
- Prepare toppings: Tip the mini cookies, sprinkles, marshmallows, pretzels, popcorn, chocolates, and other sweets into separate serving bowls, arranging them on the table alongside the squirty cream so everyone can customize their milkshake.
- Blend milkshake base: Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract into a blender and blitz until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined. Pour the milkshake into a large jug for easier serving.
- Decorate glasses (optional): Dip the rims of the milkshake glasses into the melted white chocolate, then immediately into sprinkles. Allow the rims to set slightly to adhere the decorations.
