Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  2. 1 cup milk
  3. 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  4. Whipped cream (for topping)
  5. Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for 2-3 minutes at room temperature to make blending easier.
  2. Add the softened vanilla ice cream and cold milk into a blender container. Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or adjust milk quantity to achieve desired thickness.
  3. Pour the chocolate syrup into the blender, ensuring an even distribution for consistent flavor throughout the milkshake.
  4. Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy, with no large ice cream chunks remaining.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
  6. Carefully pour the milkshake into tall, chilled glasses to help maintain its cold temperature.
  7. Top each milkshake generously with whipped cream, creating a tall, fluffy peak.
  8. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for an elegant and delicious garnish.
  9. Serve immediately with a wide straw or long spoon, and enjoy the rich, creamy milkshake.

Tips

  1. Temperature is Key: Let your ice cream soften slightly for 2-3 minutes before blending to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without over-mixing.
  2. Milk Matters: Use whole milk for the richest, most luxurious milkshake. The fat content creates a more velvety consistency.
  3. Blending Technique: Pulse the blender initially to break up large ice cream chunks, then blend on high for a smooth finish.
  4. Consistency Control: Keep extra milk and ice cream on hand to adjust thickness. The perfect milkshake should be thick enough to eat with a spoon but still able to travel through a straw.
  5. Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep your milkshake colder longer.
  6. Garnish Like a Pro: Don't skimp on the whipped cream and chocolate shavings - they're not just decoration, they're part of the experience!
  7. Serve Immediately: Milkshakes are best enjoyed right after blending when they're at peak creaminess and temperature.
