Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk or more if needed, or opt for chocolate milk for extra flavor
  • 6 cups of your choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips optional, for extra texture
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for added richness
  • Whipped cream optional, for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Having everything ready makes the preparation smooth and efficient.

Step 2: Blend the Milk and Ice Cream

  • In a blender, combine the chocolate syrup and milk. Next, add the ice cream. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If you find the mixture too thick, gradually add more milk until it reaches your desired thickness.

Step 3: Flavor Boost

  • If you want that extra touch, toss in vanilla extract. This ingredient isn’t mandatory, but it can take the flavor up a notch. Blend again for a few seconds to mix thoroughly.

Step 4: Taste Test

  • Before you pour, take a quick taste test. Adjust sweetness by adding more chocolate syrup if necessary, blending a bit longer to incorporate it.

Step 5: Serve with Toppings

  • Pour the shake into your favorite glass. Finish off with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips for that delightful crunch.

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Ice Cream: Choose a creamy, rich ice cream for the best flavor. Brands with high butterfat content deliver a superior texture.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try different chocolate syrups. Each brand has unique tastes—finding your favorite can be part of the fun.
  • Make it a Malt: If you prefer malty flavors, add malt powder to the blend. It adds depth and a distinctive taste.
  • Adjust Thickness: You have control over the shake’s thickness. For a thicker shake, reduce milk; for a thinner shake, increase it gradually.
  • Chill Your Glass: Chill your serving glass in the fridge or freezer beforehand. It helps keep your shake cold for longer.
