Dads Chocolate Milkshake Recipes

THE BEST CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cocoa powder. Stir together and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in milk followed by the sugar and cocoa powder mixture. Whisk continuously, beating out any lumps as they form, until mixture begins to thicken and bubble 1-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and whisk for 30 seconds to whisk some of the heat out of the sauce. Stir in optional vanilla and allow sauce to sit at room temperature to continue to cool slightly as you assemble the rest of your ingredients.
• Combine ice cream, milk, and 3 tablespoons* of the sauce in your blender and blend until well-mixed and pourable.
• Pour into a glass, top with optional whipped cream and drizzle the remaining fudge sauce over the top. Enjoy!

MALTED CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Chill one 16-ounce serving glass (or two 8-ounce serving glasses) in the freezer.
• For the whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream and sugar in a large, deep bowl. Whisk vigorously by hand until soft peaks form, 30 to 60 seconds. Set aside.
• For the milkshake: Blend the milk and malted milk powder in a blender on high speed until the malted milk powder dissolves, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the chocolate ice cream and blend on high until creamy and thick, pushing down as needed, 20 to 25 seconds.
• Pour the milkshake into the chilled glass and top with the whipped cream. Garnish with a maraschino cherry if using and serve immediately.

DAD'S CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cocoa powder and ice cream.
• Add some of the milk, mashing with a potato masher or a hand held electric beater (not turned on) as you go.
• You can choose to leave it thicker and more lumpy by adding less milk or mashing less (my favorite), or have a thinner shake by adding more milk and mashing more thoroughly.
• Add more cocoa powder if needed.
• SERVE!
• I also like topping with mini chocolate chips.
