Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chocolate cake mix
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and cold. Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly for easier blending.
- Add the vanilla ice cream to a blender. Measure and pour the milk directly into the blender with the ice cream.
- Carefully measure the chocolate cake mix and chocolate syrup. Add both ingredients to the blender, ensuring precise measurements for the best flavor balance.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds, or until the ingredients are completely smooth and well combined.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again briefly. If it's too thin, add a bit more ice cream.
- Pour the milkshake evenly into two tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream.
- Top each milkshake generously with whipped cream, creating a tall, fluffy peak.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of dry chocolate cake mix or a drizzle of additional chocolate syrup on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve immediately while the milkshake is cold and the whipped cream is fresh.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Use slightly softened ice cream for easier blending, but not completely melted. This ensures a thick, creamy texture.
- Blending Technique: Pulse the blender initially to break down larger ice cream chunks, then blend on high for a smooth consistency.
- Customize Your Shake: Experiment with different cake mix flavors or add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth.
- Chill Your Glasses: Put your serving glasses in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before pouring to keep the milkshake colder longer.
- Whipped Cream Hack: For the most luxurious topping, use fresh whipped cream instead of store-bought for a more authentic flavor.
- Make It Instagram-Worthy: Use a piping bag to create a perfect whipped cream swirl and add chocolate shavings or sprinkles for visual appeal.
