Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup frozen pitted cherries, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon to a blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
