How To Make A Chocolate Milkshake

The beauty of this chocolate milkshake recipe, or most milkshakes really, is that they’re SO easy to make. This one only takes three simple ingredients, plus a little whipped cream for garnish.

Start by adding four scoops of chocolate ice cream (about two cups) to your blender. You can substitute vanilla ice cream if you have chocolate syrup on hand too.

Pour in half a cup of cold milk. (You can use whole milk or 2%).

Add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

HOW TO MAKE A THICK MILKSHAKE

The the trick to making your creamy milkshake extra thick is to either add less milk or more ice cream. Adding more ice cream gives you a larger serving size too. If you’re splitting your chocolate milkshake between two people, I’d take this option.

HOW TO MAKE A MILKSHAKE WITHOUT A BLENDER

You don’t need to have a blender in order to make a delicious shake. I found this YouTube video with a tutorial onhow to make a milkshake without a blender. All you need to get started is a largeinsulated cup. I’m totally using this technique as a backup for if I’m ever without a blender.

This delicious milkshake is the perfect treat when you need to satisfy your sweet tooth! I’m already craving another one!

I’m on a roll with these milkshakes and can’t wait to make another one! Don’t forget to mark your calendars for September 12th so you can make these on National Chocolate Milkshake Day (yes, that’s really a thing!).
