- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, cinnamon roll pieces, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender. - Blend Until Creamy
Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick. A few soft cinnamon roll chunks can remain for texture, or blend longer for a completely smooth shake. - Adjust Texture as Needed
Add more ice cream for thickness, or more milk to thin it slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. - Pour and Top
Pour into chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream for that classic milkshake finish. - Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle crushed cinnamon roll or cinnamon sugar on top. Add a cinnamon stick or straw and serve immediately while cold.
