Birthday Cake Freakshake

This is deliberately over the top: a vanilla-cupcake shake in a sprinkle-coated glass with whipped cream and another cupcake on top. The shake underneath still follows a tight ratio, so the display does not collapse into sweet milk. One of these is a shared dessert, not a casual beverage.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups firm vanilla ice cream

  1. Spread the vanilla frosting around the outer rims of two large chilled glasses and press the rainbow sprinkles into the frosting.
  2. Add the milk, vanilla, ice cream and the cake portions of the 2 unfrosted cupcakes to a blender.
  3. Pulse 6 times and blend for 18 seconds until spoon-thick with fine cake crumbs.

  5. Set one mini frosted cupcake securely on each whipped-cream top and serve with a spoon immediately.
