Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Chocolate Syrup
  • 2 Scoops Chocolate Ice Cream
  • 1½ Cups Ice
  • Whipped Cream optional
  • Chocolate Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup milk into blender.
  • Add 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup.
  • Add 2 scoops chocolate ice cream.
  • Add 1 cup ice. Add the other ½ cup gradually.
  • Blend until the mixture is the consistency you desire.
  • Pour into serving glass.
  • Optional: top with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Notes

  • Use crushed ice or crush the ice before putting it in the blender to make it easier to blend.
  • The harder the ice cream is, the better. If it's too soft, you will have chocolate milk instead of a chocolate shake.
  • For a richer flavor, add more chocolate syrup.
  • For a thicker shake, add more ice or ice cream.
  • For a thinner shake, add less ice or more milk.
  • Blend in bursts – Start on a low speed and increase gradually to avoid over-blending (which can make the shake too runny).
  • Chill your glass – Pop your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes first—it helps keep the shake cold longer.
  • Serve immediately – Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh while they’re still thick and creamy.
