Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp lemon zest to the blender.
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 and 1 tbsp graham cracker or pie-crust crumbs.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use freshly grated lemon zest and juice for the best lemon flavor. For a dairy-free version, substitute ice cream and milk with coconut-based alternatives.
