Hocus Pocus Poison Apple Milkshake Rimmed With Dripping Green Candy Melts

A thick, creamy vanilla milkshake is blended with applesauce, caramel, and cinnamon for a candy-apple flavor. Each tall glass is rimmed with dripping green candy melts that look like a witch's poison potion. It is topped with whipped cream, caramel, and a green apple slice, and it takes about half an hour from start to finish.

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 5 ml

Method
 

  1. Make the Dripping Rim

  3. Remove the glasses from the freezer. Spoon the melted candy around the inside rim of each glass, so that it drips slowly down the sides. Return the glasses to the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
  4. Blend the Milkshake

  5. Toss the apple slices in the lemon juice to stop them from browning.
  6. Combine the ice cream, applesauce, milk, 1/4 cup (80 g) caramel sauce, cinnamon, vanilla, and green food coloring, if using, in a blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds, until thick and smooth. Add a splash more milk if it is too thick.

Notes

Cold glass: A very cold glass helps the candy melts set quickly in drips. Work fast, since the candy hardens within a minute.
Candy melts: Use green candy melts, or tint white chocolate chips with green gel coloring. Add oil, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, if the melted candy is too thick to drip.
Thickness: For a thicker shake, use less milk and make sure the ice cream is firm. For a thinner shake, add 2 more tablespoons (30 ml) of milk.
Flavor: A pinch of salt and a splash of apple cider boost the caramel apple flavor.
Dairy-free option: Use coconut or oat-based vanilla ice cream, oat milk, and dairy-free candy melts.
Allergies: This recipe contains dairy and soy. Check labels on candy melts and caramel for other allergens.
Storage: Best served right away. Rimmed glasses can be made up to 1 day ahead and kept in the freezer.
