Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1/3 cup mixed fresh berries to a blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then medium-high for 20–30 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. Blend briefly if needed.
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 fresh lemon juice for bright flavor; frozen berries can be substituted if fresh are out of season. Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker texture.
