Instructions

Melt the white chocolate gently in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, then add 2 cups vanilla ice cream and the melted white chocolate.
Add 1/8 tsp peppermint extract and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
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 and 1 tsp white chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Melt white chocolate gently to prevent burning, and use white chocolate shavings for a consistent white chocolate flavor and attractive garnish.
