How to make a chocolate milkshake recipe

  • Put the vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate sauce, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in the blender.
  • Blend the ingredients until they are fully mixed and smooth, which typically takes 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Check the thickness and if you prefer it even thicker add a couple of extra scoops of ice cream and blend until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the chocolate shake mixture evenly between two tall glasses.
  • Decorate with whipping cream, and chocolate chips, and chocolate sauce (Optional).
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Dairy Free - Use your preferred dairy free milk and dairy free ice cream for a delicious dairy free chocolate milkshake.
  • Tip #1: Use good quality ingredients for the creamiest and flavorsome chocolate milkshake. The quality, texture, and flavor of the finished milkshake will be best when using a good quality ice cream, chocolate sauce, and cocoa powder.
  • Tip #2: Decorating the glass (Optional) Drip some extra chocolate sauce from the top of the inside of the glass letting it run to the bottom. Place the glass in the fridge while making the milkshake.
  • Tip #3: To adapt the thickness of the chocolate shake add extra ice cream to make it thicker or more milk to make it thinner.
  • Tip #4: To finish off decorate with whipping cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate sauce for the ultimate chocolate milkshake.
