Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups dark chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 tablespoon dark chocolate syrup, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 teaspoon 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. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
