Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, then add 2 cups chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 1/2 tbsp caramel sauce, 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth; avoid overblending.
Check consistency and add more milk by 1 tablespoon increments if too thick, or add 1/4 cup more ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass, top with 2 tbsp whipped cream and 1 tsp caramel drizzle.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.

Tips

Toast pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance flavor and crunch. For a thicker shake, use less milk or more ice cream.
