Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
- Add 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt.
- 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
- If you prefer less saltiness, reduce or omit the fine sea salt. For a dairy-free version, substitute with almond milk and vegan ice cream.
