Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened slightly
  • 1 cup whole milk cold
  • cup chocolate syrup use good-quality
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: whipped cream or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, cold milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Blend on medium speed until smooth and thick, about 30-45 seconds.
  • Taste and add more chocolate syrup if you want it richer. Blend again briefly.
  • Pour into glasses immediately for the best creamy texture.
  • Optional: top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for creamier texture; low-fat won’t be as rich.
  • Don’t overblend—stop as soon as it’s smooth to keep thickness.
  • Let the ice cream soften a bit before blending for easier mixing.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best frosty consistency.
