Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk and 3 tablespoons pomegranate juice to a blender, followed by 2 cups chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Gently fold in 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds for a fresh texture.
Check consistency. Add 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 tablespoons whipped cream and 1 teaspoon chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use fresh pomegranate seeds for texture. If fresh seeds are unavailable, use frozen and thaw before adding. For a stronger tartness, increase pomegranate juice by a tablespoon.
