Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 4 churro cones (store-bought or homemade)
- Rainbow sprinkles
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Rainbow salt (sea salt + food coloring)
Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Ice Cream: Feel free to sub in coconut or almond-based ice cream for a dairy-free version.
- Matcha: Use ceremonial grade for vibrant color and mellow taste.
- Churro Cones: DIY or use premade versions—taco-style waffle cones work as a cheat.
- Rainbow Salt: Create different hues with separate bowls of sea salt and various gel food colors.
- Sprinkles: Use pastel, neon, or star-shaped sprinkles to match your vibe.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Milkshake:
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, and matcha powder. Blend until silky smooth. Set aside in the fridge to chill. - Coat the Churro Cones:
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll each churro cone in the cinnamon-sugar mix until fully coated. - Create Rainbow Salt:
In small bowls, mix sea salt with drops of food coloring. Let it dry on parchment paper if needed before use. - Fill the Cones:
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each cone with the matcha milkshake. - Decorate:
Top with rainbow sprinkles and a generous pinch of rainbow salt. - Serve Immediately:
These are best enjoyed fresh while the milkshake is cold and the cones are crisp.
Tips for Success
- Freeze your churro cones for 10 minutes before filling if they’re freshly baked. It helps prevent sogginess.
- Layer the milkshake and sprinkles to create visual appeal as you fill.
- Use gel food coloring for rainbow salt—it blends better and gives a vibrant finish.
- Double the milkshake recipe and keep extra in the fridge—it makes a great drink on its own!
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
- Serve these cones on a platter of crushed rock candy or edible glitter for added wow.
- Pair with a batch of Unicorn Poop Bark or
Unicorn Poke Cake for a truly mythical dessert table. - Want drink pairings? Try a sweet pastel mocktail, like a strawberry soda float or colorful bubble tea.
Storage & Leftover Tips
- Do not store fully assembled cones—they’ll get soggy quickly.
- Prep ahead: Keep milkshake in fridge and cones in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving.
- Rainbow salt keeps indefinitely when stored in a dry jar with a lid.
