Prep your ingredients. Let the ice cream sit on the counter for 1–2 minutes so it softens slightly.

Blend until smooth. In a blender, combine the softened ice cream and 2–3 tablespoons of cold milk (optional for looser consistency). Blend on medium speed for 20–30 seconds.

Pour and garnish. Divide the shake between two glasses. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or chocolate syrup if desired.

Serve immediately. Insert a straw and enjoy your creamy homemade shake before it melts!
