Instructions

Add the whole milk and chocolate ice cream to a blender.
Add the chocolate syrup, hazelnut butter, and pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to medium-high and blend for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check the consistency. If too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add chocolate ice cream 1/4 cup at a time.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use hazelnut butter for a creamy, nutty flavor; substitute with hazelnut spread if unavailable. For a thicker shake, use less milk or chill the glass beforehand.
