In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups of whole milk. Add the vanilla pudding mix into the milk. Lightly whisk the mixture using a wire whisk until dissolved, approximately one minute. Do not overmix or the mixture will thicken and not be easy to pour.

Pour the mixture into two standard ice cube trays, equally distributing between the two.
Step 3
Place the ice cube trays in the freezer and freeze for eight hours or overnight.
Step 4
In a Ninja® 56-ounce food-processing bowl fitted with the standard blade attachment, place all the frozen vanilla ice cubes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of whole milk and vanilla extract. Using the crush function, process for 35 to 40 seconds.
