Method
Base
Soften & measure
Let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly for easier blending. Measure 2 cups of softened ice cream into a blender.
Add milk
Pour 1 cup of cold whole milk into the blender with the ice cream.
Sweetener & Flavor (optional)
Add 1 tsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to the blender. These are optional if your ice cream is already sweet and flavorful.
Blend
Blend to desired consistency
Secure the blender lid and blend on medium-high speed for 20–40 seconds until smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed. For a thicker milkshake, blend less; for thinner, add up to 1/4 cup more milk and blend briefly.
Add-ins & Garnish (optional)
For a chocolate milkshake, drizzle 2 tbs chocolate syrup inside the serving glass, then pour the milkshake in. Top with 2 tbs whipped cream and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
