These sweet, colorful Strawberry‑Mango Milkshakes are even more delicious than they look—perfect for a girls’ night in or a small soiree.
I’ve always believed ice cream isn’t just for summer. I’ll happily make a milkshake or banana split any time of year—no season required. I’m not eating it outside in the snow (unless you are, in which case: bravo!), but I do keep my ice cream maker bowl in the freezer year‑round.
Right now I’m enjoying a green tea Bubbies Mochi Ice Cream I found at my local market, with a mango flavor waiting in the freezer. Today we’re taking a break from baking to sip on a creamy strawberry‑mango milkshake that’s as pretty as it is tasty.
Bubbies Mochi Ice Cream are bite‑sized scoops of ice cream wrapped in a sweetened rice dough. That chewy exterior makes them easy to hold and fun to eat, and they’ve been one of my favorite treats since childhood. My mother, who’s from the Pacific Islands, brought them home often; the mochi always reminded her of home, and they still do for me.
What I appreciate about Bubbies is the variety of flavors. Besides Strawberry and Mango, they offer Triple Chocolate, Matcha, Meyer Lemon, Blood Orange, and Strawberry Rhubarb. Many of the flavors are non‑GMO, kosher, and dairy‑ and gluten‑free, and there’s a vegan line coming as well.
The mochi add a delightful chewy contrast to this milkshake. For layered milkshakes, make the strawberry and mango shakes separately—there’s no need to partially freeze a layer first. Both layers are thick and blend together nicely; if you like, use a skewer to gently swirl them for a marbled effect.
Top each milkshake with whipped cream—unsweetened homemade whipped cream balances the sweetness well, though you can sweeten or flavor the cream as you like. Finish with a couple of Bubbies Mochi Ice Cream pieces for a cute, crowd‑pleasing garnish.
