Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1 1/2 tbsp caramel sauce, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp chopped nougat.
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 tbsp whipped cream and 1 tsp caramel drizzle.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

For a more pronounced nougat flavor, use a high-quality chewy nougat and chop finely to blend smoothly. This shake can be made a few minutes ahead and kept chilled but is best served fresh.
