Chocolate Strawberry Milkshake Recipe

Chocolate Strawberry Milkshake Recipe

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 2 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream (about 4 large scoops)

• 1½ cups whole milk (adjust for desired consistency)

• 1/2 cup chocolate syrup (plus more for garnish)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 4-6 fresh strawberries (plus 2 for garnish)

• Whipped cream (optional topping)

• Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

• Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)

• Striped straws (optional for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Glasses:

   • Drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside of two tall glasses in a swirling pattern.

   • Place the glasses in the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the shake to help the syrup set.

2. Blend the Milkshake:

   • In a blender, combine:

     • 2 cups ice cream

     • 1½ cups milk

     • ½ cup chocolate syrup

     • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

     • 4-6 fresh strawberries (hulled)

   • Blend until smooth and creamy.

   • Add 1–2 ice cubes and blend again if a thicker shake is desired.

3. Serve:

   • Remove the glasses from the freezer.

   • Pour the milkshake into each glass carefully, maintaining the chocolate syrup design on the inside.

   • Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of each glass.

   • Add a striped straw and optional whipped cream or toppings.

Tips:

• For a richer taste, use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.

• Use frozen strawberries for an extra cold and thick texture.

• Vegan/dairy-free option: Use plant-based milk and dairy-free ice cream.
