Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream and 2 tablespoons cashew butter.
Add 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.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use smooth cashew butter for a creamy texture. If too thick, add milk gradually until desired consistency is reached.
