Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
- Add 1/4 cup toasted chestnuts and 1/4 cup toasted pecans, both chopped, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
- Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth, avoiding overblending.
- Check the consistency and add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
- Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
- Top with 2 tbsp whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
Tips
- Use toasted chestnuts to enhance the nutty flavor and add texture. You can substitute oat milk for whole milk to make it dairy-free, but adjust sweetness accordingly.
