Instructions
- Add the whole milk to a blender, followed by the vanilla bean ice cream.
- Add softened cream cheese and pure vanilla extract to the blender.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- Check the consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional vanilla bean ice cream if too thin.
- Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
Tips
- Use softened cream cheese for easier blending and a smoother texture. For a stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean ice cream rather than plain vanilla.
