Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups dark chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 tbsp dark chocolate syrup, 2 tbsp hazelnut butter, and 1/2 tsp 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 tbsp whipped cream and 1 tsp dark chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use dark chocolate ice cream and syrup to achieve a richer chocolate flavor. For a thicker shake, partially freeze the milk before blending.
