Chocolate Cherry Milkshake

Summer won't be complete without a thick, creamy chocolate cherry milkshake that tastes just like a Black Forest cake.

1 pt chocolate ice cream
1½ cups cherries, pitted
⅔ cups whole milk
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup, divided
1 Tbsp. cherry juice
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar

Garnish:
whipped cream

Add the ice cream, cherries, milk, and one tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Drizzle the chocolate syrup along the sides of your glass and pour the milkshake in.

Add the cherry juice, heavy cream, and powdered sugar together and beat until it forms stiff peaks.

Top the milkshakes with the whipped cream.

Makes 2 servings.

Cook's Notes: You can use homemade cherry juice or maraschino cherry juice.
