Instructions

Add the chilled cold brew coffee and vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add pistachio butter and pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and thick. Avoid overblending.
Check the thickness and adjust by adding 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

For a thinner milkshake, add more cold brew coffee instead of milk to keep the coffee flavor strong. You can make the milkshake ahead and freeze it briefly before serving for extra thickness.
