Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream, plus more as needed
- 1 cup milk (approximately)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Note: If your blender is too small, do it in parts; you want the mixture to blend freely.
- Blend everything on low speed. If you want your milkshake to be thicker, add more ice cream. Likewise, if too thick, add more milk. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Equipment: Blender.
- Prep ahead (optional): Freeze the glasses a few hour ahead of time so you get extra cold milkshakes.
- Ice cream: Prior to blending, make sure the ice cream is not rock hard but not too soft/melted either. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop easily, let it sit on the counter for a few minutes.
- Vanilla beans: If you want to, scrape the seeds from a vanilla bean and add it to the blender for extra vanilla-y-ness (yes, I made that word up).
- Blending: If your blender is too small, do it in parts. Blend on low speed in order to keep some of the thick ice cream consistency.
