Instructions

Pour 1/2 cup whole milk into a blender, then add 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then on medium-high speed for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check the consistency; if too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time and blend briefly. If too thin, add 1/4 cup additional ice cream and blend again.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture. For a thicker shake, freeze the peanut butter slightly before blending.
