Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
Stir vigorously with a spatula or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined, but still thick and cold.
If desired, fold in your choice of mix-ins (e.g., crushed cookies, candy pieces, fruit) until evenly distributed.
Serve immediately in a cup with a spoon, or freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.

Tips

For a thicker blizzard, use less milk or add more ice cream.
Store leftovers in the freezer; let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating.
Customize with Oreo pieces, M&Ms, or chocolate syrup.
