Equipment

an upright blender
a glass for serving

Ingredients

3 scoops vanilla ice cream softened slightly
3 scoops chocolate ice cream softened slightly
whole milk as needed
1 cup whipped cream(see the recipe notes for my easy homemade whipped cream recipe!) plus extra for topping. I like to use homemade whipped cream, but you can also use whipped cream from a spray can or Cool Whip.
sprinkles for topping, optional. I used my favorite 4th of July sprinkles, but you can use any sprinkles you like!

Instructions

In your upright blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, half of the whipped cream, and a splash of milk. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding more milk as needed. Pour the finished vanilla shake into a cup and pop it into the fridge or freezer while you prepare the chocolate shake.
Rinse out your blender, then combine the chocolate ice cream, remaining whipped cream, and a splash of milk. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding more milk as needed. Pour your finished chocolate shake into a cup.
Set your serving cup/glass of choice on the counter and combine your two prepared shakes. This can be done by carefully pouring both shakes into the glass at the same time, or pouring part of the vanilla shake into the cup, followed by part of the chocolate shake, and repeating until both shakes are gone.
Top your finished twist shake with whipped cream and sprinkles, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to play around with this recipe. I like to stick to the classic twist flavors. But this twist shake can be made with any of your favorite ice creams! You can also top with any favorite ice cream toppings, fresh strawberries, peanut butter, and crumbled chocolate chip cookies are all delicious!

Homemade whipped cream recipe

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until the heavy cream forms stiff peaks. And that’s it!
