Tips for the Best Vanilla Milkshake
  • Use the ice cream straight from the freezer. Let it soften too long, and the shake turns out thin.
  • Too thick to blend? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add another scoop of ice cream.
  • Real vanilla extract will drastically impact the flavor of this milkshake. Since there's nothing else in this recipe to cover for imitation vanilla, we suggest choosing the highest quality pure vanilla extract you can buy.
