Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (good quality, creamy brand)
- ½ cup milk (whole milk is creamiest, but any milk works)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream to a blender.
- Pour in ½ cup of milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more ice cream or milk as needed.
- Pour into tall glasses and top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a cherry if desired.
- Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
Notes
- For an ultra-rich shake, swap part of the milk for half-and-half.
- Chill your serving glasses in the freezer to keep the milkshake colder longer.
- Want to make it dairy-free? Use plant-based ice cream and milk.
- Leftovers can be frozen in popsicle molds for a fun twist!
