I watched a video hosted by a national bakery supplier about making cupcake milkshakes. Very interesting. I love ice cream with my cake.
I brought it to the staff’s attention as a potential project. They told me that I had been living under a rock; that there were restaurants in both Rexburg to the north and in Idaho Falls to the south that served cupcake milkshakes. So we bought a bunch of ice cream—we always have cupcakes—and got started.
They were easy to make. You make the milkshake and then throw a whole cupcake in the blender. The trick is not to over-process it. You want chunks of cupcakes.
To Make the Cupcakes
Nearly all of our cupcakes are filled with pre-made pastry fillings. See how to fill cupcakes. Most are frosted with buttercream frosting, though pre-made frosting works fine.
A Recipe for Cupcake Milkshakes
For each shake:
1 1/2 cups ice cream
1/4 cup milk
1 cupcake
- Blend the ice cream and the milk to make the milkshake. Add vanilla if you like.
- Remove the paper liner and add one cupcake. Don’t cut it up beforehand.
- Lightly pulse the shake just until the cupcake is cut to chunks. Do not over blend.
Serve immediately.
