Ingredients

Scale

Milkshake Layers

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
Yellow food coloring (a few drops)
Orange food coloring (a few drops)

Topping

Whipped cream, for topping
Candy corn, for garnish

Instructions

Divide and Color Ice Cream: Scoop the vanilla ice cream into three equal portions. Add yellow food coloring to one portion and orange food coloring to the second portion, leaving the third portion plain. Mix each colored portion thoroughly to achieve even coloring.
Blend Colored Portions: In a blender, combine each colored ice cream portion separately with a small amount of milk. Blend each until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk quantity slightly if needed to reach a milkshake consistency.
Layer Milkshakes: In a tall glass, carefully pour the blended orange milkshake first, followed by the plain (white) milkshake, and finally the yellow milkshake, creating distinct colorful layers.
Add Toppings and Serve: Top the layered milkshake with a generous amount of whipped cream, then garnish with candy corn pieces. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, layered look and creamy texture.

Notes

Use full-fat vanilla ice cream for the creamiest texture.
Blend each color separately to maintain distinct layers in the glass.
Chill your glass beforehand to help keep the layers from blending too quickly.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based ice cream and milk alternatives.
Adjust the amount of milk to control thickness according to preference.
