Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar caramel sauce and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 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 tablespoons whipped cream and 1 teaspoon caramel drizzle.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use homemade or store-bought brown sugar caramel sauce for authentic flavor. Chill the glass beforehand to keep the milkshake cold longer.
