Instructions

Add whole milk and vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add honey and pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth; avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if too thick, or add up to 1/4 cup 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 full-fat milk for a creamier texture. For a thicker shake, freeze the honey slightly before blending to avoid watering down the shake.
