Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup fruit yogurt into a blender.
Add 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream and 1/2 tsp pure 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 2 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use fruit-flavored yogurt to add subtle fruit notes without overpowering the vanilla. Adjust ice cream or milk to achieve desired thickness.
