How-To Halloween: Candy Corn Ice Cream Shakes

Candy corn is the candy that is most often associated with Halloween. The orange, yellow and white color scheme can be seen throughout grocery stores and candy bags all through the month of October, but the candy itself can get a little boring. If you want to put a spin on the typical Halloween candy, why not try Candy Corn Ice Cream Shakes? They’re really simple to make and taste delicious, which makes them perfect for a Halloween get-together or a horror movie marathon!

Ingredients

• Vanilla ice cream
• Orange sherbet
• Cool whip or whipped topping of your choice
• Yellow food coloring
• Halloween colored sprinkles or mini candy corn
• Glasses to put the shakes in

Directions

1. Take the vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet out of the freezer and let them soften for approximately 25 minutes or until they are soft enough to work with.
2. Mix some yellow food coloring in with the vanilla ice cream. The amount of food coloring will vary, but make sure to use enough to make a bright yellow.
3. Fill the bottom of the glass 1/3 of the way full with the yellow vanilla ice cream. Make the top of the ice cream as smooth as possible because you’ll be layering other colors on top. Put the glasses in the freezer to allow the yellow layer to harden a bit.
4. Once the yellow layer has hardened a bit, add a layer of orange sherbet about the same size so the glass is now 2/3 full with both colors. Make sure the orange layer is as smooth as possible on the top. Put the glasses back into the freezer to allow the orange layer to harden.
5. Once the orange layer has also hardened a bit, add a layer of white vanilla ice cream about the same size as the other two layers. This layer doesn’t need to be smooth on the top as it is your last layer.
6. Add cool whip or your whipped topping of choice as well as the Halloween colored sprinkles or mini candy corn on the top.
7. Serve and enjoy!

Tips

• Instead of glasses, using mason jars allows you to get more even layers.
• Wiping off the parts of the glass with a paper towel makes it less likely that the layers will run together.
