Churro Shake

Schmoozies in Hollywood Land, Disney California Adventure Park has some of the best shakes throughout the year. The Churro Shake has been one of my all time favorites. Tastes like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Churro Toffee milkshake. I was so excited re-creating my own version today! Hope you love it!

Ingredients Needed For Churro Shake

First things first, you need to make a batch of my Churro Toffee to place on top of your milkshakes. Do this up to one day in advance. Below are the other ingredients you’ll need to make this Churro Shake at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details and instructions.

Vanilla Ice Cream– For best results, use a good quality vanilla ice cream.
Light Brown Sugar– Brown sugar is added to shake mixture for some sweetness.
Ground Cinnamon– Cinnamon is added to the shake mixture for the churro flavor.
Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix– The pudding mix adds thickness and vanilla to the shakes.
Milk– I like to use 2% or higher milk.
White Frosting– Frosting is used to spread around the rim of the cup before sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
Cinnamon/Sugar– Cinnamon sugar mix is sprinkled on the rim of the cup for decoration.
Whipped Cream– Whipped Cream is placed on top of each shake.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros Cereal– The cereal pieces are placed on top of the whipped cream layer of each shake.
Small Piece of Churro Toffee– I like to make my churro toffee for these shakes, but you can use any prepared toffee as well.
Red and White Striped Straws– For an added touch, add red and white striped straws in each shake.
Clear Plastic Cups– Use clear plastic cups to mimic the cups used at Disney Parks when they served it.

How To Make Churro Shake

Make Churro Toffee. Prepare my Homemade Churro Toffee in advance. See blog post for a recipe link to my homemade churro toffee.

Spread Frosting On Cup Rims. With an onset spatula, spread frosting or marshmallow cream onto top 1 inch of clear plastic cup.

Cinnamon Sugar. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and press onto frosted rim.

Churro Cereal. In the cereal isle of your grocery store, you can find the Cinnamon Toast Crunch “Churro” Cereal. This is what Schmoozies garnishes the top of the shakes with…along with a piece of Churro Toffee that you can make ahead of time.

Ice Cream Into Blender. Place 6 cups of vanilla ice cream into a large blender.

Brown Sugar/Cinnamon. Add brown sugar and cinnamon.

Jello Pudding Mix. A couple tablespoons of Instant Vanilla Pudding mix. This is my secret ingredient that makes the milkshake so good.

Blend Shake. Place ice cream into a large blender. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, pudding mix and milk. Blend on high until well combined.

Pour Shakes Into Cups. Pour shake into two cups that have been frosted and cinnamon/sugar dusted.

Whipped Cream and Garnish Tops With Cereal and Toffee. Add whipped cream on top. Garnish with Churro Cereal pieces and place a piece of homemade churro toffee on side.

Add a red and white straw if you’d like too! Enjoy!

How To Serve

Serve this shake ice cold, immediately after blending.
