Diners across the country are known for their classic, thick, ice cream milkshakes. In diner lingo, they're called white or black cows. With our recipe for a Diner Style White Cow, you can make the perfect, diner-style, vanilla milkshake with 3 easy ingredients.

What You'll Need

1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

What to Do

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until smooth and thick. Serve immediately.

Well, this is awkward...when I noticed the title of this recipe, a milkshake was the last thing that was on my mind. I've never heard of a Diner Style White Cow before so the first thing that popped into my head was some type of beef steak smothered in a white gravy or something similar. LOL Does anyone know where the name comes from?

Hi there! This name comes from normal diner lingo, which is a slang that servers who work at diners use as a sort of "code" name for the recipes. You can read about it and more here: http://www.dinerlingo.com/dictionary/white-cow

A simple addition of vanilla can make a big difference in flavor! You can even add a little bit of almond extract if you like. However, there's a big difference in the quality of vanilla, and if you can scraping a vanilla bean will get you the best vanilla flavor. Try to avoid imitation vanilla.
