Bubblegum Milkshake Slushie: The Sweetest Thing I’ve Ever Put in My Ninja

I swear, every time I walk into the supermarket for “just bread,” I come out with at least one chaotic impulse buy. This time it was bubblegum syrup — neon, nostalgic, and absolutely begging to be tipped straight into the Ninja slushie maker.

And look… the moment I tasted it, I knew I had made something dangerous.
This is the kind of sweet, creamy, over-the-top dessert drink that sends the teens running into the kitchen asking, “Wait, what’s THAT?” and suddenly everyone wants a glass. Including the adults.

It’s part milkshake, part icy slushie, part childhood carnival ride — and honestly, it’s ridiculous in the best way.

I have to give a shout out to my all time favorite slushie cup these Margarita double wall tumblers are perfect for all cocktail types. I was gifted a pair of these for Christmas and I am in Love and use mine every slushie mix!

If you’ve got a Ninja Creami, Ninja Slushie Maker, or even just a standard Ninja blender, this one is for you.

Ingredients I Used

All the naughty, creamy goodness:

– 2 cups full-cream milk
– 1/2 tin condensed milk
– 1/4 cup thickened cream
– 1/4 cup bubblegum syrup
(Add more if you like it intensely sweet — I won’t judge.)

This mix gives you that perfect blend of creamy richness + icy slush texture. No watery disappointment here.

How to Make the Bubblegum Milkshake Slushie

This is one of those recipes where the Ninja basically does everything for you. Bless it.

1. Chill your ingredients

You’ll get a thicker, frostier slush if everything is straight from the fridge.

2. Add everything to the Ninja

Milk, condensed milk, cream, syrup — tip the lot in.

3. Add ice

Start with 1 to 1½ cups ice, depending on how thick you like it.

4. Hit the Slush or Icy Drink button

If you’re using a regular blender, blend in short bursts until it goes from liquid ? slurpable ? thick ice-cream-shop slush.

5. Taste test

More syrup?
More ice?
More “this is wildly sweet but I love it”?

Adjust to your heart’s chaos.

What It Tastes Like

Imagine the milkshake you begged your mum for at the corner shop in 1998… now imagine it colder, thicker, and slightly more unhinged.

It’s creamy, nostalgic, borderline ridiculous — and genuinely addictive. Perfect for:

– movie nights
– after-school treats (if you’re feeling generous)
– Saturday afternoon “mum needs a moment” drinks
– pink-themed parties
– or simply because you spotted something fun at Woolies and the universe said do it

Make It Extra Fun

If you want to go fully overboard, try:

– topping with whipped cream
– adding sprinkles
– drizzling more syrup down the sides
– adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream
– freezing the mix into cubes and re-blending later

My kids declared this “the best Ninja thing you’ve ever made,” which honestly is saying something.

Mars Bars already have everything going for them: caramel, nougat, and silky milk chocolate. But when you turn them into a creamy, boozy cocktail? That’s when magic happens. This Mars Bar Dessert Cocktail is like drinking a chocolate bar milkshake—smooth, rich, and a little bit naughty.

It’s the kind of indulgent drink you make when you want to skip dessert altogether, or when you’re entertaining and need a show-stopping treat in a glass. One sip and you’ll understand why this cocktail is about to become your new guilty pleasure.

Why You’ll Love It

Tastes just like a Mars Bar – but with a boozy grown-up kick.
Quick to make – blend and pour, no fuss.
Perfect for dessert lovers – doubles as a drink and a sweet treat.
Customisable – adjust the liqueurs for more chocolate, caramel, or creaminess.

Ingredients (serves 2)

2 x fun-sized Mars Bars, chopped
60ml (2 oz) Baileys Irish Cream
60ml (2 oz) Kahlúa (coffee liqueur)
30ml (1 oz) Butterscotch schnapps (for caramel flavour)
½ cup heavy cream (or vanilla ice cream for a milkshake version)
1 tbsp chocolate syrup
Ice cubes
Extra chocolate syrup and whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
1 fun-sized Mars Bar, sliced (for garnish)

Method

Step 1 – Prep the glasses
Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of two martini or dessert glasses. Pop them into the fridge to chill while you make the cocktail.

Step 2 – Blend it all together
In a blender, combine chopped Mars Bars, Baileys, Kahlúa, Butterscotch schnapps, cream, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3 – Pour and garnish
Divide between the chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a slice of Mars Bar perched on the rim or skewered on a cocktail stick.

Step 4 – Serve immediately
This cocktail is rich and indulgent—best enjoyed straight away while it’s frosty and fresh.

Variations to Try

Frozen Mars Cocktail – blend with extra ice for a thicker, slushy-style drink.
Extra Caramel Hit – add a swirl of caramel sauce in the glass before pouring.
Lighter Version – swap cream for milk or almond milk for a thinner sip.
Over-the-Top Dessert – serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top.

When to Serve

This Mars Bar Dessert Cocktail is perfect for:

Girls’ nights in with snacks and laughter.
A cheeky dessert replacement when you want chocolate and booze.
Date nights at home (bonus points if you share the last Mars Bar).
Festive parties or special occasions where indulgence is the goal.

Mars Bars have a way of making us feel nostalgic and a little bit cheeky—and this cocktail delivers both. Rich, chocolatey, caramel-y, and perfectly boozy, it’s dessert and drink rolled into one.

So if you’ve ever found yourself sneaking a mini Mars Bar from the pantry, imagine blending that same joy into a glass with a splash of liqueur. Trust me: it’s a recipe worth keeping.
