Add the chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and chocolate syrup to the blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and velvety thick.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Pour into tall chilled glasses, top with whipped cream, drizzle with extra chocolate syrup, and finish with chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.
