1 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk whole milk recommended
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 scoops chocolate ice cream
- 1 ½ cups ice crushed if possible
- Whipped cream optional, for topping
- Chocolate sprinkles optional, for topping
Instructions
Prepare the Milk Base:
- Begin by pouring one cup of milk into a blender. Using whole milk will yield a creamier texture, but alternatives such as almond or oat milk can be used if preferred.
Incorporate Chocolate Syrup:
- Add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to the milk. This ingredient is key to enhancing the chocolate flavor. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level.
Add Ice Cream:
- Place two scoops of chocolate ice cream into the blender. For best results, allow the ice cream to soften slightly before adding, as this aids in smoother blending.
Include the Ice:
- Add one and a half cups of ice to the blender. Crushed ice works well as it blends more evenly, but standard ice cubes are equally effective.
Blend the Mixture:
- Blend all ingredients together until the texture is smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to check the consistency. For a thicker milkshake, add additional ice or ice cream. For a thinner consistency, incorporate a small amount of milk.
Serve and Garnish:
- Pour the milkshake into a serving glass. If desired, top with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles for an added touch of indulgence. Serve immediately for the best experience.
