Ingredients
1 cup orange juice
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup ice cubes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream, optional for topping
Orange zest or orange slices, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Add the orange juice, milk, vanilla extract, vanilla ice cream, and ice cubes to a blender.
2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and frothy.
3. Check the texture and add a splash of milk if you want it thinner, or a little extra ice if you want it thicker.
4. Pour into two chilled glasses.
5. Top with whipped cream and orange zest or orange slices if desired.
6. Serve immediately while cold and frosty.
Notes
Use cold orange juice and firm ice cream for the thickest, frostiest texture.
Fresh orange juice gives a brighter flavor, but store-bought works well for convenience.
For a dairy-free version, use plant milk and dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
