Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups dark chocolate ice cream.
Add 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
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 chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use high-quality dark chocolate ice cream for the richest taste and a creamier texture. To make ahead, prepare the shake without whipped cream and garnishes, then add them just before serving.
