Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, and mini chocolate chips.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then medium-high for 20–30 seconds, until thick and smooth but still textured with mix-ins.
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 toasted coconut and walnuts for deeper flavor. To make ahead, blend base ingredients and add toppings just before serving to keep texture intact.
