Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, then add 2 cups chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency and adjust by adding 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tbsp whipped cream and 1 tsp chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and chocolate ice cream with almond milk and dairy-free chocolate ice cream. Serve immediately to keep the texture creamy.
