Instructions

Add whole milk to a blender, followed by the vanilla ice cream.
Add hazelnut butter, chilled espresso, and vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just 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.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use freshly brewed and chilled espresso for best flavor. Hazelnut butter adds richness and natural hazelnut flavor; if unavailable, substitute with hazelnut syrup but reduce milk slightly.
