Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/2 cup chopped ripe pear, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger.
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 tablespoons whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use fresh ginger instead of ground for a brighter, fresher flavor. For a thinner milkshake, add milk gradually to reach desired consistency.
