Ingredients:
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk is creamier, but you can use any milk)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
- Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Blender:
- Ensure that your blender is clean and ready to use.
2. Add Ice Cream:
- Scoop 2 cups of chocolate ice cream into the blender. You can adjust the amount to make your milkshake thicker or thinner, depending on your preference.
3. Pour in Milk:
- Add 1/2 cup of milk. Whole milk will make the milkshake creamier, but you can use any milk you prefer.
4. Include Chocolate Syrup:

7. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness or thickness by adding more chocolate syrup or milk as needed.
8. Serve:
