Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups chocolate ice cream to a blender.
Add 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup roughly crushed salted pretzels.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth but retaining some pretzel crunch.
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 and 1 tsp chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
