Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (720 ml) full-fat vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) chocolate syrup (e.g., Hershey’s)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Gather and chill ingredients: soften ice cream slightly but do not melt, measure milk and chocolate syrup.
- Add vanilla ice cream and whole milk to blender. Pulse a few times, then blend on medium-high until smooth but thick.
- Add chocolate syrup and vanilla extract. Blend until fully incorporated and color is rich chocolate brown.
- Taste and adjust thickness: add more ice cream if too thin and blend again; add a splash more milk if too thick to blend.
- Pour milkshake into glasses and chill in freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm up, or serve immediately if preferred.
- Optional: top with whipped cream and drizzle extra chocolate syrup before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat ice cream and whole milk for authentic thickness. Chill milkshake before serving for best creaminess. Measure chocolate syrup for balanced sweetness. Pulse ice cream first to avoid overheating blender. Adjust thickness by adding ice cream or milk as needed. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend before serving. Do not microwave leftovers.
