Notes

To make this milkshake even creamier, you can try using heavy cream in place of milk.
When purchasing ice cream, make sure you are being real 100% dairy ice cream. There are ice creams that are labeled as “frozen desserts” as they’re made with vegetable oils.
To easily scoop your ice cream, let your ice cream sit at room temperature for around 5 minutes so it can soften enough to scoop.
If you find the milkshake a little too thick for your liking, add in additional milk a couple of splashes at a time.
To help your drink stay cold longer, you can place your glasses in the freezer beforehand.
Don’t have a can of whipped cream on hand? Try making your own whipped cream.
Don’t add ice to this. Ice will water down your drink.
