Whenever I think of the times that I have really had a craving for a rich, decadent dessert, they seem to coincide with a certain amount of laziness. There are the occasions when you feel proactive and want to create impressive delicacies, of course, but there are also plenty of times when you’re lounging on the couch with your laptop, lurking on people’s Facebook pages reviewing your stock portfolio and simply can’t be bothered to spend an hour in the kitchen.
In times like these, what are your options? Dive into that bowl of stale Halloween candy? Miss the next episode of 30 Rock C-Span Congress coverage? It is precisely times such as these that call for Funfetti Cake Batter Shakes—simple, delicious, and ready in three easy steps.
(1) Vanilla ice cream.
(2) Milk.
(3) Funfetti cake mix.
Blend and enjoy!
Funfetti Cake Batter Milkshakes
Recipe adapted from A Beautiful Mess
1/2 package Funfetti cake mix
2-3 cups vanilla ice cream
2-3 cups milk
In a blender, combine the cake mix, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, and 2 cups milk. Blend until well combined and adjust with more ice cream or more milk and blend until desired thickness is reached. Serve immediately.
Optional: Decorate the glasses by rubbing a thin layer of corn syrup on the rims and then dipping them in colorful sprinkles.
Makes 2 large servings or 4 regular servings.
Wow…what a great idea! I'm thinking the cake mix helps the shake stay nice and thick instead of getting all melty. Genius! BTW…I'm having a great Biscoff Easter giveaway, so come check it out!
Koci, This looks yummy! I love your pictures, they are so pretty!
Oh wow! I love the sprinkles round the rim. I wonder if we have funfetti here. Hmmmm.
hee hee seems like we lounge on the couch quite similarly LOL….if there's funfetti involved, you know we're having some fun 🙂

More importantly, WHERE did you get the sprinkles? Those are adorable!
Oh wow – not healthy but probably super delicious. We are saluting summer with "cool treats week" on our blog. Today we gave several recipes for shakes. We linked to this one as I'm sure it is a big hit. Come check it out:
