Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup whole milk

1 cup cotton candy (fluffy and fresh)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped cream (for topping)

Additional cotton candy (for garnish)

Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Food coloring (optional, for additional color)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and 1 cup of cotton candy. If you're using food coloring, add a few drops at this stage to enhance the pastel colors of the milkshake.

    Blend: Blend on high until smooth and the consistency is thick yet pourable, which usually takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute. You may adjust the milk quantity if you prefer a thinner or thicker shake.

      Taste Test: Taste the milkshake and add the vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost. Blend for a few more seconds to incorporate.

        Serve: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream.

          Top It Off: Generously add whipped cream to the top of each milkshake. You can use a piping bag if you're feeling fancy.

            Garnish: For presentation, carefully place a few pieces of cotton candy on top of the whipped cream. Add sprinkles if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately with a colorful straw and enjoy the whimsical taste of your cotton candy milkshake!
