How to Make This Sweet Treat

Start with the chocolate milkshake. In a blender, combine chocolate ice cream, espresso powder, milk, and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pop it in the freezer while you prep the next layer. For the strawberry milkshake, clean your blender, then add vanilla ice cream, milk, strawberries, and sugar. Blend until silky smooth.

Now, it’s time to decorate! Dip the rims of your glasses into melted white chocolate, then coat them with sprinkles. Be generous—it’s all about the drama! Pour the chocolate and strawberry milkshakes into the glasses at the same time to create a gorgeous swirl effect. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of strawberry syrup, and a few extra sprinkles. Grab a straw, snap a picture for the ‘Gram, and enjoy immediately.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh? Yes! Just make sure to thaw them slightly so they blend easily. Can I skip the espresso powder? Sure! The milkshake will still be chocolatey, just a bit less intense. What if I don’t have fancy glasses? Use mason jars or any sturdy cup. It’s the taste that counts!
