Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup whole milk

½ cup blueberries
¼ cup whipped cream
Extra whipped cream for topping
Red and blue sprinkles for decoration
Fresh strawberry and blueberry slices for garnish

Instructions
Prepare the Fruit: Rinse the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull the strawberries and chop them into smaller pieces. Set aside the fruits in separate bowls.
Blend the Milkshake: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream and whole milk. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
Add the Fruits: Add the chopped strawberries to the blender and pulse a few times. Optionally, blend in the blueberries for a more uniform color blend.
Assemble the Milkshake: Pour half of the milkshake into serving glasses. Add the blueberries on top, then pour the remaining milkshake mixture carefully over the blueberries.
Top and Serve: Generously add whipped cream to the top of each milkshake, then finish with sprinkles and garnish with fresh fruit slices.
