You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

Make 12-15 vanilla milk ice cubes. Pour some vanilla soy milk into 12 ice cube tray compartments and freeze overnight.
Add the vanilla ice cubes, ¾ cup vanilla soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and vanilla yogurt into a blender.
Blend until the mixture becomes frothy and the ice cubes are crushed to your preferred consistency (the cold part will separate at the beginning and become flaky so keep blending until it reaches a creamy, smooth blend).
Taste and adjust sweetness and texture. Add more maple syrup for a sweeter milkshake or more vanilla ice cubes or yogurt for a thicker consistency. For a thinner texture, add a splash of vanilla milk.

Notes

Clean ice cube tray: Make sure your ice cube tray is clean to avoid any unwanted flavors.
Don’t over-blend the ingredients: Or the ice will begin to melt, and the result will be runnier.
Used chilled ingredients: Aside from the ice (of course), use chilled milk and yogurt to extend how long the slushy consistency lasts.
Chilled serving glass: Serve the milkshake in a chilled serving glass or mason jar to keep it cooler for longer.
Blend in stages: Go slowly and in stages to reach your desired consistency.
Top it off: With fun toppings to keep it interesting.
Serve immediately: The consistency will change as it warms up and starts to melt.
