Instructions
- Add chilled cold brew coffee, vanilla ice cream, butterscotch syrup, and pure vanilla extract to a blender.
- 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 whipped cream.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
Tips
- Use good-quality butterscotch syrup or make your own by melting butter and brown sugar with cream. Adjust coffee strength by increasing or decreasing cold brew amount.
