Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cups milk
  • Sweetened whipped cream for topping

  • Combine ice cream, chocolate sauce, and milk in a blender. Blend until well-mixed, stopping to scrape down sides, if needed. Add more milk, if desired, for a thinner shake, or less milk for a thicker shake.
    2 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1/4 to 1/2 cups milk
  • Pour into tall glasses. Top with sweetened whipped cream and drizzle with extra chocolate sauce, chocolate sprinkles, or top with a maraschino cherry.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 2/3 cup chocolate sauce. You can set aside 1-2 tablespoons for drizzling over the milkshakes, if desired, and the milkshake will still be very chocolatey.
