Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
Add 1/2 cup chopped ripe pear, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 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 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use ripe but firm pears for the best texture. Substitute almond milk to make it dairy-free, but the flavor will be less rich.
