Instructions

Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream.
Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) pistachio butter, 2 tablespoons (15 g) malted milk powder, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 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.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

For a nut-free option, substitute pistachio butter with almond or cashew butter. Prepare and chill the glass beforehand to keep the milkshake cold longer.
