Method

  1. 1

    Chill your glass

    Place your serving glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps the milkshake thick and frosty for longer — this small step makes a big difference.

    Step 1: Chill your glass
  2. 2

    Blend the milkshake

    Add the vanilla ice cream, cold whole milk, and vanilla extract to a blender. If using a vanilla pod, scrape the seeds in too. Blend on medium speed for 30–45 seconds — just until smooth and creamy. Do not over-blend or the shake will become too thin.

    Step 2: Blend the milkshake
  3. 3

    Taste and adjust

    Taste the shake and add condensed milk or sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Blend for another 5 seconds. The shake should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon — if too thin, add another scoop of ice cream and blend briefly.

    Step 3: Taste and adjust
  4. 4

    Pour and serve

    Pour into the chilled glasses. Top generously with whipped cream and a light dusting of vanilla powder or a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately with a wide straw.

    Step 4: Pour and serve
