Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480ml) high-quality vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: Whipped cream, maraschino cherry, sprinkles for topping

Instructions:

  1. Chill the Glass: Pop your glass in the freezer for a few minutes while you prep – it makes all the difference.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the slightly softened ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  3. Blend: Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-blend, or it will become too thin.
  4. Check Consistency: If the milkshake is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, add a scoop more ice cream and blend again.
  5. Pour and Serve: Pour into the chilled glass and top with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and sprinkles if desired. Enjoy immediately!
