The Viral Barbie Milkshake You Can Make At Home

This Barbie Milkshake recipe transforms raspberries and dragonfruit into a pink shake better than Cold Stone’s. Take a sip and embrace your inner Barbie!

A pink shake is going viral on TikTok, and it’s the Cold Stone Creamery’s Barbie milkshake, inspired by Margot Robbie’s movie.

We’ve all seen the Grimace shake TikTok trend, but the Barbie shake is shaking things up; this time, “yassifying” men into the glammed-up Barbie versions of themselves! 💅

However, why don’t we make our own Barbie milkshake at home? And instead of the usual strawberry milkshake, let’s whip up something tastier.

No need to visit Cold Stone.

Let me introduce you to a super easy pink milkshake recipe with raspberries and dragonfruit. 

Yep, these healthy and delicious fruits will make our homemade milkshake pink and absolutely fitting with the TikTok trend. 

Prepare your hot pink crop top and cute skirt and come on Barbie, let’s go party with your version of the Barbie shake!

What Is The Barbie Shake Trend?

After the Grimace shake trend, TikTok has found its next viral sip: the Barbie shake trend.

This isn’t surprising with Director Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie taking over social media, and let me tell you, this trend is oh-so-fabulous! 💗

The TikTok barbie shake trend has men taking sips of Cold Stone Creamery’s Barbie milkshake, but instead of passing out like with the Grimace shake (don’t get me wrong, that trend is definitely my type of humor), they get “yassified.“

However, some people found the pink shake’s taste confusing. Cold Stone Creamery’s Barbie shake is the blended version of their All That Glitters Is Pink sundae.

Not everyone is a fan of cotton candy ice cream, and you might not want to spend $9 for a milkshake. But hold on; we can still join in the fun because you can make a pink shake at home with our Barbie milkshake recipe. 

The secret for its Barbiecore hue? Dragonfruit!

What Does Barbie Milkshake Taste Like?

The store-bought Barbie milkshake tastes sweet and creamy, and even though it’s made with pink cotton candy ice cream flavor, most people said it reminded them of a regular strawberry milkshake. 

Of course, we want something more exciting and not just sweet. With this at-home Barbie shake, you’ll love the layers of flavor from the fruits.

You’ll get the usual richness and creaminess from the milkshake base of vanilla ice cream, and milk.

But instead of strawberries, our Barbie milkshake features raspberries and dragonfruit.

It tastes fresh and fruity with just the right sweetness to compliment the yummy thick consistency of the pink shake.

And if you haven’t tried a dragonfruit before, don’t worry; you don’t need to be adventurous to appreciate its flavor. 

Dragonfruit itself tastes mild, like a less sweet watermelon, pear, or kiwi. So even though this isn’t your standard boring pink milkshake, it won’t taste too weird, even for the pickiest eater.

Is The Viral Barbie Milkshake Healthy?

The viral pink Barbie-themed shake from Cold Stone Creamery is not exactly packed with nutrients; after all, it’s a sugary milkshake made with pink cotton candy ice cream, graham cracker pie crust, sprinkles, and whipped cream. 

On the other hand, our Barbie milkshake features frozen raspberries and dragonfruit pieces, so you’ll also get vitamin C and fiber goodness in every sip.

It’s still a milkshake, so it’s best not to overindulge in the pink sweet treat. But because it’s homemade, you can get creative with healthy substitutes for ice cream, milk, and cream.

What Are The Benefits Of Pink Barbie Shake?

Our Barbie milkshake is a more exciting and healthier way to join the Barbie shake trend. 

It’s made with fruits, so you can still enjoy nutrients in each serving. 

This at-Home barbie shake will also be a delightful surprise to guests because it does not taste like a regular pink milkshake that tastes overly sweet and artificial.

It’s rich, but also fruity and refreshing, thanks to the raspberries and dragonfruit.

Furthermore, this Barbie shake’s color is gorgeously vibrant, fitting with the Barbie trend, thanks to dragonfruit powder! No artificial color here.

Tips About Making The Barbie Shake Trend

Get the most mouthwatering smooth and creamy consistency on your homemade pink Barbie shake with these tips:

• Remember to allow your ice cream to soften first. Then, blend it with the milk on low speed until the texture is pourable before adding the rest of the ingredients.
• Stir in the fruits and other ingredients after blending the ice cream and milk. Pulse several times until the mixture is smooth and free of chunks.
• If the pink milkshake is too thin, just add more ice cream. On the other hand, just add more milk if it ends up too thick to your liking. 

Still unhappy with the texture of your berry-flavored milkshake? Maybe your blender is the issue!

How To Store Your Pink Milkshake

I highly suggest just making a fresh batch of this Barbie milkshake recipe whenever the cravings strike for the best experience. But if you have leftovers, these can help, so your pink Barbie-themed shake is still good later.

• Freezer: Transfer your milkshake to a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer. Just ensure it’s away from the freezer door, where the temperature fluctuates. 
• Fridge: Once you’re ready to drink your milkshake, take it from the freezer and defrost it in the fridge for 20 minutes or until the consistency is pourable.
