Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, then add 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 2 tbsp malted milk powder and 1/2 tsp 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. If too thick, add 1 tbsp milk at a time and blend briefly. If too thin, add 1/4 cup more ice cream and blend until smooth.
Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with 2 tbsp whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

To make a richer shake, use whole milk or substitute half-and-half. For a dairy-free variation, use coconut milk ice cream and dairy-free whipped topping.
