By Denise Witmer, About.com

Ingredients
  • 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream
  • 1c. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • red and blue food coloring
  • garnish: strawberry and 3 blueberries

Directions

Place the ice cream in a blender with the milk and the vanilla extract. Blend together until smooth. Pour into two glasses 1/3 of the way. Add one drop of red food coloring in each glass and stir. Pour more vanilla shake into each glass carefully, to create a 'white' layer on the red layer. Now put two to three drops of blue food coloring into the rest of the shake that is in the blender. Stir until the desired shade of blue is achieved. Pour this layer carefully on top. Garnish with a strawberry and 3 blueberries.
