  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 cups

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

  1. Add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream to a blender.
  2. Pour in ½ cup of milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more ice cream or milk as needed.
  4. Pour into tall glasses and top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a cherry if desired.
  5. 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!
