Copycat McDonald's McFlurry (Oreo, M&M's, and More)

• 3 cups good-quality vanilla ice cream
• 3 tbsp cold whole milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Mix-ins, choose one: 8 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed, or 1/2 cup M&M's minis, or 1/2 cup chopped Reese's cups or Heath bars
• Optional: chocolate or caramel syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

1. 1

   Chill two tall cups or bowls in the freezer for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5 minutes, just until it gives slightly when pressed with a spoon.

3. 3

   Add the ice cream, milk, and vanilla to a large bowl. Stir and fold quickly with a sturdy spoon for 30 to 45 seconds until it looks like soft serve. Do not overmix or it will turn soupy.

4. 4

   Fold in half of your crushed mix-ins until just distributed.

5. 5

   Spoon into the chilled cups, drizzle with syrup if using, and press the remaining mix-ins on top.

6. 6

   Serve right away with a spoon.
