With just 3 ingredients, you can make yourself the Best Chocolate Milkshake. Top it off with chocolate sauce, a cherry, and some whipped cream, and your day will be made!

Creamy Ice Surf Chocolate Milkshake

I know ‘best’ is a serious title to requite a dessert, but this truly is the Weightier Chocolate Milkshake. This recipe will requite you the PERFECT drive-through version of a milkshake, like the kind you get at McDonalds, Sonic, etc. But now, you don’t have to get in your car and leave your house to satisfy your sweet tooth!

If we’re talking repletion food, it doesn’t get much largest than a milkshake – expressly a chocolate one. The moment your lips touch the straw, and you taste the sweet, rich chocolate, everything in the world is right! Adding a cherry and some whipped surf doesn’t hurt either. :)

What is a Milkshake?

A milkshake is a sweet dessert drink that is made with ice cream, milk, and other sweeteners like caramel and/or chocolate syrup. You tousle all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and frothy, and then you get to top it all off with sprinkles and whipped cream!

What You’ll Need (Only 3 Ingredients!)

Chocolate milkshakes are pretty much the easiest dessert to make yourself. Grab these 3 ingredients to get started:

• Ice Cream: I used 4 cups vanilla ice cream!
• Milk: I suggest whole milk for weightier flavor.
• Chocolate Milk Mix: Use a powdered chocolate milk mix (like Nesquik or Ovaltine).

How to Make a Chocolate Milkshake

Making a chocolate milkshake is a two-step process. Basically, just dump the ingredients in the blender, blend, and enjoy!

Blend Ingredients Together: In a blender, puree ice cream, 3/4 cup milk and powdered chocolate milk mix until smooth.

Test the Consistency: If it is too thick for you, add the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Puree again, until smooth. Serve immediately!

Tips for Success

Here are some uneaten tips and tricks on how to make the weightier chocolate milkshake:

• Chocolate Milk Mix Substitute: You can substitute with a liquid Hershey’s chocolate syrup, but the powdered version works weightier flavor-wise.
• Can I Use Chocolate Ice Cream? Sure! A double-chocolate milkshake sounds delicious.
• Coat the Rim/Inside of Your Glass with Chocolate Syrup: It looks cool, makes for unconfined photos, and it doesn’t taste half bad either!

Topping & Variation Ideas

Milkshakes are hands topped and customized! Here are a few ideas on how to do that:

• Add-Ons: Top your milkshakes with chocolate chips, sprinkles, pixie bits, crushed Oreos (and other cookies), crushed candies (like Kit Kats), etc.
• Syrups: Drizzle your drink with chocolate or caramel syrup, or both!
• Whipped Cream: And don’t forget a cherry, too.
• Use Nutella: A chocolate-hazelnut milkshake would be so tasty.

Serving Suggestions

There are so many things that go well with a chocolate milkshake!

• Burgers and Fries: You can create your own cozy diner vibes at home! My husband loves to dunk fries in this shake! Maybe some Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries? Or go all out with some Texas Cheese Fries!
• Chicken: Anything from Chicken Fried Chicken to yellow tenders.
• BBQ Pork: Or really any supplies that you can grill and top with picnic sauce.
• Fruit: I like to cut up a plate of strawberries or rinse some berries.
