Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp malted milk powder.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds 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.
