Ingredients for Christmas Tree Cake Milkshake

Gather these items:

  • 2 Christmas Tree Cakes (plus an extra for topping the shake)
  • 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Store bought frosting (for the rim)
  • Red and green sprinkles (for the rim)
  • 1 cup Cool whip (in a piping bag with a star tip)

How to Make Christmas Tree Cake Milkshake Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1: Start with the frosted rim magic. Use a butter knife to spread a layer of frosting around the rim of your glass — this is where the sprinkles will stick, so don’t be shy.
  2. Step 2: Dip the frosted rim into a plate of sprinkles until it’s fully coated and looking merry and bright.
  3. Step 3: In a blender, add the ice cream, milk, and Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. (Yes, whole snack cakes — we’re going big here.)
  4. Step 4: Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, splash in a little more milk; if it’s too thin, toss in another scoop of ice cream.
  5. Step 5: Pour into your sprinkle-rimmed glass and top with a generous swirl of whipped topping, extra sprinkles, and — because we’re not doing anything halfway — a Christmas Tree Cake right on top.
