👩🍳 Directions:
Step 1: Decorate the Jars
Use a knife or spoon to rim each jar with a layer of frosting or fluff.
Roll the rim in patriotic sprinkles or colored sugar.
Optional: Stick star gummies or candies to the rim for more flair.
Step 2: Blend the Milkshake
In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
For a layered effect:
Divide into three batches: one tinted red, one white (leave plain), and one blue.
Blend each color separately and keep cold.
Step 3: Pour & Layer
Pour red milkshake into the bottom of the jar.
Carefully add white, then blue, using a spoon to help layer without mixing.
Tap the jar gently to settle each layer.
Step 4: Top Like a Firework!
Pile on whipped cream, sprinkle more stars and glitter, and insert rock candy sticks, Pocky, or striped straws like bursting fireworks.
Add cotton candy, candy flags, or a dash of Pop Rocks on top for sparkle and crackle!
