Making delicious old-fashioned vanilla milkshakes at home is easier than you think! All you need are three ingredients!
4 cups vanilla ice cream 1 cup whole milk ½ tsp pure vanilla extract Blender equipment Ice, as needed
Place your serving glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes. A cool glass helps your milkshake stay thick and ice for longer.
Let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending.
Add ice cream to a blender. Add whole milk and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth.
Pour into cold glasses and serve right away. Top with whipped cream or a cherry, if you're feeling generous!
