Dark Chocolate Milkshake Recipe

Let’s be real — sometimes you just need chocolate that’s deep, dark, and slightly dramatic. I made this one night after the kids were in bed, and I needed something indulgent but easy. This dark chocolate milkshake is thick, velvety, and not overly sweet — just the way I like it. Now it’s my go-to when I want to treat myself without feeling weighed down.
Ingredients:
-
2 scoops dark chocolate or plain chocolate ice cream
-
2 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder
-
½ cup milk of choice (I love unsweetened almond milk here)
-
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave (adjust to taste)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of sea salt (optional — enhances the chocolate flavor)
-
Whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings to top (optional)
Instructions:
-
Blend ice cream, cocoa powder, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt (if using) until smooth and thick.
-
Pour into a chilled glass.
-
Top with whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings if you’re feeling fancy.
-
Enjoy every bold, creamy sip!
