Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake - Fancy & Fabulous!!
I went to the fanciest milkshake shop with my friend for her birthday. The milkshakes were topped with all types of cookies and cakes.
I was dying to take my kids there, but the milkshakes were nearly $20 each. With a family of 7 kids, that is an expensive outing!! So, I decided we could try to figure out how to make some at home. We did it! And for nearly the cost of only one or two milkshakes at the shop!
I love a delicious, thick milkshake. And I love our Strawberry Shortcake Bundt, so this was a match made in heaven!! It’s a fancy and fabulous spin on cake and ice cream.
We had so much fun with it, we had several Helping of Happiness cooking classes where we made these milkshakes. They were a hit! I hope you love them as well!!

Grab the recipe for our Strawberry Shortcake Bundt here!
Directions:
First step, make your Strawberry Shortcake Bundt. While your bundt is in the oven, you can work on steps 2 and 3.
Next, prep your half pint jars. This step is optional. If you don’t want to take the time to decorate the outside of your jar with the white chocolate, go to step 3. Put your white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Warm for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted. Smear with a knife or a spatula around the rim of your half pint jars. Sprinkle your white sprinkles around the edges before the white chocolate dries to make a pretty finish to your jar.
Make your strawberry puree. Recipe below.
Drizzle some of strawberry puree into each of the half pint jars.
For this next step, I like to do it in smaller batches. Put 1 1/2 cups ice cream and 1/2 cup milk into a mixing bowl. With a hand mixer, blend until just combined. I use a hand mixer instead of a blender for a nice thick shake. If you like your shakes thinner, mix it longer. Pour the mixture into your half pint jar. Do this for each of your jars
Time to slice up that cake!! Put a slice of your Strawberry Shortcake Bundt onto the jar of your milkshake. If you need to, insert a toothpick through the strawberry on the side to hold it onto the cake.
Top with whipped cream.
Enjoy!!!
