Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened for easier blending
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 3 cups ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for enhanced vanilla flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the softened vanilla ice cream, cold milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into the blender.
  2. Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and has a fluffy, icy consistency—about 30-45 seconds. You should see the ice breaking down and the mixture turning creamy.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly again to loosen it. If too runny, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
  4. Once the mixture is a smooth, fluffy, icy slush, turn off the blender and pour it into chilled glasses.
  5. Optionally, garnish with a small vanilla bean or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the cold, creamy, icy treat.

Notes

For a thicker texture, add more ice. For a creamier result, use full-fat vanilla ice cream. Enjoy immediately for the best frosty experience.
