• 2)

  Cut two even triangular slices from the Mini Vanilla Bean Sheet Cake, stack them on top of each other to make a 2-layer slice of cake. Use a spatula or knife to spread the frosting from the top layer so the frosting covers the entire slice. Place into the freezer for 5 minutes so it firms up.

• 3)

  Use some frosting from the leftover Mini Vanilla Bean Sheet Cake and spread it on the top two inches of the milkshake glass rim. Roll the rim of the glass in Joe Joe’s / freeze dried strawberry crumbs. Take the slice of cake out of the freezer & cover the cake in Joe Joe’s / freeze dried strawberry crumbs. Set aside

• 4)

  Make the whipped cream by adding ⅓ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream and 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar into a stand mixer. Mix on high until medium-stiff peaks form. Place into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Add a big swirl of whipped cream on top of the slice of cake & top with a strawberry.

• 5)

  Make the milkshake by adding 6 hulled Strawberries, 2 Tablespoons Milk, 1½ Cups Vanilla Ice Cream and the leftover Vanilla Joe Joe’s / freeze dried strawberry crumbs. Blend until smooth. Pour into the milkshake glass. Add the slice of cake on top of the glass. Decorate with more whipped cream along the bottom of the slice of cake. Add 3 strawberries to a long skewer, then add to the milkshake glass. Enjoy with a straw & fork!
