Barbie Milkshake Recipe

This Barbie milkshake recipe is a rich, delicious shake that’s full of flavor and all the pink and purple sensibilities of America’s classic doll. This shake features frozen strawberries and dragon fruit powder, or freeze dried strawberry powder, or both, for a super-fruity taste and vibrant purple/pink color, whipped cream, and fun pink sprinkles, nonpareils, you name it. Whatever you want your Barbie milkshake to look have. 

Whether you love Barbie or you just love a good milkshake, this Barbie milkshake recipe is for you. I love this milkshake because it’s super-rich and thick, and the color is just so much fun! I’m particularly fond of this one because it has all the feels of my favorite doll. When I was a girl, I had all kinds of Barbies, and they went on all kinds of adventures. While I don’t adventure with Barbies anymore, I do recall those wonderful times whenever I make this shake. It’s equal parts flavor and nostalgia. 

 

Barbie Milkshake Recipe

This delicious shake is extra rich and thick thanks to frozen strawberries along with a vanilla ice cream base. I add dragon fruit powder sometimes and other times I add freeze dried strawberry powder. Both give this milkshake a tropical flair and a vibrant pinkish, purple color. I blend it all up, top it with whipped cream and sprinkles, and it’s ready to go! I love to make this for myself as a sweet treat or make several at a time for guests.
