Equipment:

Ingredients

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
• 1 cup whole milk (cold)
• 1/3 cup chocolate syrup (use good-quality)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, cold milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract.

• Let the ice cream soften a bit before blending for easier mixing.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the best frosty consistency.
