Main Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream or ube ice cream for a stronger flavor

Method

Preparation

Gather all your ingredients to make the process flow smoothly.
In a high-powered blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, and ube halaya. If desired, add a splash of vanilla extract.
Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is creamy and thick. If too thick, add a splash more milk to reach the desired texture.
Pour the ube milkshake into tall glasses. Top each glass with whipped cream, and optionally sprinkle with purple sprinkles or crushed ube chips.
