Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup cotton candy (plus extra for garnish)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped cream for topping

Food coloring (optional, to enhance color)

Sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, cotton candy, and vanilla extract. If you'd like, add a couple of drops of food coloring to give your milkshake a more vibrant look.

    Blend the ingredients on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything mixes well.

      Once blended, pour the milkshake into chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.

        Top each milkshake generously with whipped cream, allowing it to overflow a bit for a whimsical effect.

          Stick small tufts of extra cotton candy on top of the whipped cream, and sprinkle with your choice of colorful sprinkles for an extra fun touch.

            Serve immediately with a jolly straw and enjoy the sweet whimsy of your cotton candy milkshake!
