Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1/2 medium ripe banana, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and smoother texture. If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream instead of milk.
