Notes
As with any recipe, good quality ingredients can make all the difference in the success or failure of the dessert. For instance, budget ice cream can be very light and fluffy, almost airy, while the better, more expensive brands are thick and rich. Good vanilla ice cream (such as Haagen Dazs brand) will make a thicker, richer milkshake. Use whatever you have but adjust ingredients as needed.
