Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (about 4 scoops)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
  • 1-2 tbsp simple syrup or honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tall glass
  • Straw
  • Spoon (optional, for thicker shakes)

Instructions

  1. Soak the Cereal: Place 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles in a bowl with 1 cup of whole milk. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to infuse the milk with cereal flavor. Stir occasionally.
  2. Strain the Milk: After soaking, strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container, pressing lightly on the cereal to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the soggy cereal or save for another use.
  3. Blend the Milkshake: In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, the cereal-infused milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth, about 30-45 seconds. If you prefer a sweeter shake, add 1-2 tbsp of simple syrup or honey and blend briefly to incorporate.
  4. Prepare the Glass: For an extra touch, rim the glass with a light coating of honey or simple syrup and dip it into a plate of Fruity Pebbles to create a colorful, crunchy rim.
  5. Serve: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles, and rainbow sprinkles, if desired.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon for a thicker consistency.

Tips

  • For a thicker shake, use less milk (about 3/4 cup) or add an extra scoop of ice cream.
  • For a thinner shake, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk and blend longer.
  • To enhance the cereal flavor, mix in 1/4 cup of dry Fruity Pebbles into the blender during the last 5 seconds for a bit of crunch.
  • Store any leftover cereal-infused milk in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
