What you will need

This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:

  • 3 cups chocolate ice cream
  • 0.5 cup chocolate milk
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp chocolate shavings

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Blender

Make sure your blender is clean and dry. For an extra thick shake place your chocolate ice cream on the counter for 2 minutes to slightly soften before blending.

Step 2: Blend Everything Together

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.

Easy substitutions

Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:

  • chocolate milk → regular whole milk with an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder
  • chocolate syrup → melted dark chocolate for a richer less sweet flavor

Common mistakes to avoid

Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:

  • Using ice cream straight from a very cold freezer which can strain or jam the blender motor
  • Skimping on chocolate syrup which results in a less intense chocolate flavor
