Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups caramel or dulce de leche ice cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup mini pretzels, plus extra for garnish
  • 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzle
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing
  • Caramel sauce for glass drizzle

Method
 

  1. Crush 1/2 cup of the mini pretzels into small pieces. Leave the other 1/2 cup in larger chunks for texture.
  2. Drizzle caramel sauce generously around the inside walls of two tall glasses.
  3. Add the caramel ice cream, milk, crushed pretzels, and 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce to a blender.
  4. Blend for 15-20 seconds until smooth but with pretzel bits still visible.
  5. Pour into the caramel-drizzled glasses.
  6. Top with whipped cream and the remaining pretzel chunks pressed into the cream.
  7. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
  8. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt on top and serve with a wide straw.

Notes

The flaky sea salt on top is not optional — it's what makes this milkshake special. That pop of salt against the sweet caramel is addictive. If you can't find caramel ice cream, use vanilla and add an extra 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. For extra crunch, dip the glass rim in caramel sauce and then crushed pretzels.
