- Add 1 tbsp (15 ml) chocolate syrup, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 2 shots (60 ml) chilled espresso to the blender.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- Check consistency; if too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time. If too thin, add 1/4 cup additional ice cream.
