Chocolate Milkshake

chocolatemilkshake2 This easy Chocolate Milkshake recipe is thick and creamy, made in just a few minutes, with only three simple ingredients.

6 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream
1/3 cup milk or chocolate milk
1/3 cup chocolate sauce

Garnish:
whipped cream

Combine ice cream, milk and chocolate sauce in a blender and blend until combined. I like my shakes really thick, but if you need to thin it, add a little more milk.

Top with whipped cream.

Makes 4 servings.

Cook's Notes:

Chocolate Sauce: I use my homemade hot fudge sauce for an extra rich chocolate taste.
Chocolate Milkshake Without Ice Cream: Instead of ice cream, add a couple frozen bananas and plenty of ice.
Chocolate Milkshake with Cocoa Powder: Add 1/4 cup warm water, 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of sugar to a blender and blend on low. Add ice cream and a splash of milk if needed, and blend to combine.
Chocolate Banana Milkshake: Add a frozen banana and blend with other ingredients.
Vegan Chocolate Milkshake: Substitute almond milk and vegan vanilla ice cream. Omit whipping cream.
