Method
Prep
Chill glass
Place a 16 oz serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes while you assemble ingredients to keep the shake cold longer.
Measure and have all ingredients ready. If using chocolate chips as mix-in, measure them now.
Blend
Combine base ingredients
In a blender, add 1 cup whole milk, 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Add mix-ins (optional)
If using chocolate chips or shards, add 2 tablespoons to the blender for texture. Do not add if you prefer a fully smooth shake.
Finish & Serve
Remove chilled glass from freezer. If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup along the inside of the glass, swirling to create streaks.
Pour the blended shake into the prepared 16 oz glass, leaving a little room at the top for whipped cream.
Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream, sprinkle any reserved chocolate chips on top if desired, and finish with a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
