Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this creamy, dreamy Fruity Pebbles milkshake:

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk (dairy, almond, or oat all work great!)
1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, plus more for topping
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Hailee’s Tip: For an extra thick and creamy milkshake, use a combination of vanilla ice cream and vanilla Greek yogurt. The yogurt adds a lovely richness and tanginess that pairs so well with the sweet Fruity Pebbles.

Optional Add-Ins and Variations

This Fruity Pebbles milkshake is pretty perfect as-is, but here are some fun ways you can customize it:

Fruity Pebbles Milkshake Float: Top your milkshake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and extra Fruity Pebbles for a fun and festive twist.
Strawberry Fruity Pebbles Milkshake: Swap out 1/2 cup of the milk for strawberry puree or strawberry syrup.
Chocolate Fruity Pebbles Milkshake: Add a tablespoon or two of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to the blender.
Peanut Butter Fruity Pebbles Milkshake: Swirl in a couple of tablespoons of creamy peanut butter.
Milkshake Popsicles: Pour the milkshake into popsicle molds and freeze for a fun frozen treat.

The possibilities are endless! Get creative and have fun with it.

Step-by-Step Method

Making this Fruity Pebbles milkshake couldn’t be simpler. Here’s how I do it:

1. Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, and 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

What I Messed Up: The first time I made this, I used way too much milk and ended up with a thin, watery milkshake. I learned that the key is to use just 1 cup of milk to get that perfect thick and creamy texture.

2. Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses.

3. Top each milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream (if using) and a sprinkle of extra Fruity Pebbles.

4. Grab a spoon and a straw, and enjoy your delicious Fruity Pebbles treat!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here are a few tips to help you avoid any milkshake mishaps:

Don’t over-blend: Blending the milkshake for too long can cause it to become icy and grainy. Stick to about 1 minute of blending for best results.
Use the right milk-to-ice cream ratio: As I mentioned, too much milk will make the milkshake too thin and watery. Stick to 1 cup of milk per 2 cups of ice cream for the perfect consistency.
Don’t forget the Fruity Pebbles: The cereal is the star of the show here, so make sure you blend in a full cup for maximum flavor.
Let it rest before serving: Giving the milkshake a minute or two to settle after blending will help the flavors meld and the texture thicken up nicely.

My Tested Substitutions

This Fruity Pebbles milkshake is pretty darn perfect as-is, but here are a few ingredient swaps you can try:

Milk: I love using dairy milk, but you can easily swap in almond, oat, or any other type of milk you prefer.
Ice Cream: Vanilla is the classic choice, but you could also use strawberry, chocolate, or even a fruity sorbet.
Yogurt: As I mentioned, adding a bit of vanilla Greek yogurt makes the milkshake extra thick and creamy.
Toppings: In addition to whipped cream and extra Fruity Pebbles, you could also top your milkshake with sprinkles, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.

How to Customize

The great thing about this Fruity Pebbles milkshake is that it’s super versatile and easy to customize to your tastes. Here are a few ideas:

Make it extra thick and creamy: Add an extra scoop of ice cream or a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt.
Amp up the Fruity Pebbles flavor: Blend in an extra 1/2 cup of the cereal.
Make it dairy-free: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
Add mix-ins: Swirl in peanut butter, chocolate syrup, or fruit puree.
Turn it into a float: Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and extra Fruity Pebbles.

The possibilities are endless! Feel free to get creative and make this milkshake your own.

Serving Ideas

This Fruity Pebbles milkshake is the perfect treat for all sorts of occasions:

Dessert: Serve it up after a meal for a sweet, indulgent finish.
