For the frappuccinos
07 -

2 cups prepared blue shark ice cream

# Instructions:
01 -
Beat the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until it holds soft peaks, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overwhip.
02 -
Fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a tiny drop of blue gel food coloring until evenly tinted and still fluffy.
03 -
Spread half the blue cream in a shallow freezer-safe pan. Dot with white icing, add a few shark gummies, then cover with the remaining blue cream. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
04 -
Blend the frozen strawberries with water until smooth and thick. Add another teaspoon of water only if needed to get the blender moving.
05 -
Blend the milk, ice, and 2 cups of the blue shark ice cream until thick and creamy. Add a splash more milk if the blender stalls.
06 -
Spoon strawberry puree down the inside of 4 clear glasses. Pour in the blue frappuccino, top with whipped topping, and finish with shark gummies. Serve immediately.
# Good to know:
01 -
Freeze time is at least 6 hours, so make the blue ice cream ahead.
02 -
Best served immediately after blending.
03 -
Use gel food coloring for the brightest color and thickest texture.
