Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 2 tbsp malted milk powder.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds, just 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 fresh blueberries if frozen are unavailable, and chill them before blending. To make ahead, blend all except the whipped cream, then top just before serving.
