Christmas Tree Cake Shake


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (or similar vanilla Christmas-themed snack cakes)
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream (about 2 large scoops)
  • 1 cup whole milk (adjust for desired thickness)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Green and red sprinkles (for garnish)
  • Mini candy canes (for garnish)
  • Optional: Crushed graham crackers or cookies for rim garnish

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1:
Prepare the Glass
Start by prepping your serving glass to add an extra touch of festivity. Rim the glass with a bit of honey or corn syrup, and then dip it into a plate of crushed graham crackers or holiday-themed sprinkles. This adds a beautiful, decorative look and a delightful crunch!

Step 2:
Blend the Ingredients
In a high-speed blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Crumble one of the Christmas Tree Cakes into the blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth, making sure the cake pieces are fully incorporated.

Step 3:
Adjust Consistency
Check the thickness of the shake. If you prefer a thicker shake, add more ice cream. If you’d like it thinner, add a little extra milk. Blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4:
Pour into Glass
Pour the shake into the prepared glass, filling it almost to the brim. The creamy texture and subtle hints of cake will give it an inviting look and rich flavor.

Step 5:
Add the Toppings
Top the shake with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Crumble the second Christmas Tree Cake on top, creating a delightful topping. Add green and red sprinkles, and finish with a mini candy cane for a holiday touch.

Notes

For the best results, use a high-speed blender to ensure the cake pieces are thoroughly incorporated. If using a regular blender, you may need to blend slightly longer to achieve a smooth consistency.
