Why This Recipe Works

To get the texture and consistency we wanted for these milkshakes—smooth, rich, and sippable through a straw—we ditched the blender and pulled out the food processor. The heat and size of the processor blade breaks down the ice crystals both evenly and more efficiently. We used vanilla ice cream as the base and transformed it by adding some caramel sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
