Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 1 1/2 cups chocolate ice cream and 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream.
- Add 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the blender.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- 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 a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream to achieve the swirl effect and balanced flavor. Chill your glass beforehand for an extra-cold milkshake.
