Instructions

Add the chilled cold brew coffee and vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add the toasted pecans and pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to medium-high speed and blend for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending to maintain texture.
If the milkshake is too thick, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk at a time; if too thin, add an additional 1/4 cup (60 ml) of ice cream.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce (480 ml) glass.
Top with whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.

Tips

Toast pecans lightly to enhance their flavor before adding. Use chilled cold brew coffee to keep the shake cold without watering it down.
