Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup cold milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Add blackberries, vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract to a blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy (5-7 minutes for a frosty texture).
  • Adjust consistency with more milk or crushed ice if needed.
  • Pour into glasses and serve chilled immediately.

Notes

For best results, use frozen blackberries for natural thickness.
Add 1-2 tbsp milk for a smoother texture if needed.
Top with blackberry compote or a dollop of whipped cream optional.
Store leftovers in fridge for up to 24 hours (texture may soften).
