Ingredients for a Funfetti Milkshake
To make this showstopping shake, here’s what you’ll need:
Optional: Wooden skewers & paper straws for serving
- 48 oz Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 6–8 Tbsp Milk (adjust to desired consistency)
- 1 cup Hershey’s Syrup
- 2 cups Whipped Cream (canned preferred for decorating)
- 8 Marshmallows
- 16 oz Vanilla Icing
- 9 oz Funfetti Sprinkles
How to Make a Homemade Funfetti Milkshake
This no-bake dessert drink is as fun to make as it is to sip!
Step 1: Blend the Ice Cream
Add your entire tub of vanilla bean ice cream to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Adjust the Texture
Pour in 6 to 8 tablespoons of milk, depending on how thick you want your shake. Blend again until everything is combined.
We love a thick milkshake, but if you prefer it thinner, just add more milk!
Step 3: Add the Sprinkles
Remove the blender blade and fold in ¾ of the Funfetti sprinkles (about 6–7 oz). Use a spoon or spatula to gently mix them into the milkshake. Instant party vibes!
Step 4: Decorate the Glasses
Using a spatula, spread vanilla icing around the rims of your glasses. Then dip each glass into a plate filled with sprinkles until the icing is fully coated. It’s messy—in the best way.
Step 5: Pour & Top
Fill each glass nearly to the top with your sprinkle-filled milkshake, leaving room for toppings.
Step 6: Add Whipped Cream & Chocolate Drizzle
Top with canned whipped cream (the kind that swirls beautifully).
Drizzle with Hershey’s syrup—we like to do it twice for extra height and fun!
Step 7: Finish with Marshmallows
Skewer marshmallows onto wooden sticks and place on top for a whimsical finishing touch. Pop in a festive paper straw and serve!

Vanilla Milkshake
Ingredients
- 48 oz of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1 c Hershey Syrup
- 2 c Whipped Cream
- 8 Marshmallows
- 16 oz. Vanilla Icing
- 9 oz. Funfetti Sprinkles
Instructions
- In a blender add in your tub of ice cream. Blend the ice cream until it’s smooth.
- Once the ice cream has a smooth consistency, add in 6-8 tablespoons of milk. Blend the milk into the ice cream until incorporated.
- We like a thicker milkshake. If you prefer a runnier milkshake you’ll obviously want to add more milk.
- If you are using a Ninja like we did, remove the blade and add in your sprinkles. We used 3/4 of a 9 oz bottle of sprinkles for this recipe. Fold the sprinkles in with a spoon or spatula.
- Grab the glasses that you are using and prepare the tops of them. I forgot to take pictures of this step but you can always watch the video below to see exactly how we did this step.
- Anyhow, using a spatula spread the icing on the top of the glass. Using a flat plate dip your glass in the sprinkles until all the icing is covered.
- Fill your glass until nearly full. You’ll want to keep some room in the cup for the whipped cream.
- Top your funfetti milkshake with canned whipped cream. You can use the tub stuff, but I think the canned comes out looking prettier!
- Drizzle the top of the whipped cream with chocolate syrup. We repeated this step twice so that you can a taller effect of the whipped cream (a little food styling trick for you all!).
- Using a wooden skewer place the marshmallows on skewer, using as much or as little as you wish! Then add your straw and you are ready to enjoy your Homemade Funfetti Milkshake!
