This Mardi Gras King Cake Milkshake is crazy big with crazy big flavors. Of course, you wouldn’t expect anything less from a milkshake that has been named after a day like Fat Tuesday.
That’s why I decided to create a Mardi Gras milkshake with my favorite sweets.
Hence, each yummy treat I used reminds me of carnival time in New Orleans in some way.
I know the milkshake looks fattening. Don’t worry it’s okay to indulge a bit during Mardi Gras.
It’s supposed to be the time we have fun and feast before the 40 days of Lent began, which ends at Easter.
My Mardi Gras King Cake Milkshake is made using Blue Bell ice cream and topped with a mini King Cake from Randazzo’s Bakery, beignets covered in powdered sugar, whip cream, and white chocolate with sprinkles.
And, of course, we had to use Blue Bell Mardi Gras King Cake ice cream.
It’s cinnamon cake flavored ice cream with pastry pieces, colorful cream cheese swirl, and candy sprinkles. YUM!!!
How to make a Mardi Gras King Cake Milkshake
To make a Mardi Gras King Cake Milkshake, you will need ice cream, milk, white melted chocolate chips, sprinkles, skewers, beignets, a mini King Cake, whip cream, and a glass.
First, you’ll need to blend the milk and ice cream together.
Second, melt white chocolate in the microwave. Dip the mouth of a glass into the melted white chocolate and cover with purple, green, and gold sprinkles.
Third, place your King Cake and beignets on skewers. Fourth, pour the milkshake into the glass.
Last, stick the skewers with the King Cake and beignets into the milkshake.
Add whip cream and more sprinkles. Also, for a more festive look add a cute King Cake baby and a crown to your milkshake.
Additionally, you can use a cinnamon roll with sprinkles instead of a mini King Cake.
I used this recipe here for Easy Biscuit Beignets instead of beignets from a place like Cafe Du Monde.
I hope you get a chance to try this crazy delicious milkshake!

This milkshake looks absolutely sinful and delish! Yes I have been to a genuine Mardi Gras parade and Mardi Gras in New Orleans and it was absolutely shocking and unforgetable! One of the things I loved about New Orleans besides the beautiful architecture and culture, is their food! Gotta try making this for my buddies, I am allergic to everything! Thanks for the recipes!
Kim Seghers says
Hi Kim! Yes Mardi Gras in New Orleans can be shocking! I don’t bring my kids to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We go to parades in the smaller towns. But, it’s fun to experience at least once with a bunch of friends with no kids! Sorry your allergic . Hope you can make this for your buddies. Have a lovely weekend, Kim
