- Straws (optional, for sipping)
- Spoon (for scooping ice cream)
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream high-quality for creaminess
- 1/2 cup whole milk or plant-based milk for a dairy-free option
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup plus extra for drizzling
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened, for intense chocolate flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances sweetness
- Whipped cream optional, for topping
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles optional, for garnish
- Pinch of salt to balance sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure your ice cream is slightly softened for easier blending, but not melted. Chill your glasses in the fridge for a frosty effect.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on medium-high speed for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is creamy and fully combined. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a bit more ice cream.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and chocolate shavings or sprinkles for extra flair.
- Enjoy!: Serve with a straw or spoon and savor every sip of this decadent treat.
