Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/2 cup frozen pineapple and 2 tbsp malted milk powder.
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.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor. If you prefer a lighter shake, substitute part of the ice cream with frozen pineapple chunks.
