Method
Shake
- 1
Prepare glass
Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 5 minutes while you assemble ingredients (optional but helps keep the drink cold).
- 2
- 3
Add ice cream and flavor
Spoon 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into the shaker. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- 4
Add ice
Add about 4 medium ice cubes to the shaker to chill and slightly aerate the drink. If you want a thicker shake, use fewer cubes or smaller crushed ice.
- 5
Shake vigorously
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds, or until the ice cream is fully incorporated, the mixture is frothy, and the syrup is well blended. If using a blender, pulse 3–5 times until smooth but not overly liquefied.

Taste and adjust
Open the shaker and taste a small amount. Add an extra tablespoon of chocolate syrup if you prefer it sweeter or richer, then give a quick 5–10 second shake to combine.

Serve
Strain (optional) and pour the shaken chocolate milk into the chilled tall glass. Leave the froth on top for texture.

Garnish (optional)
Top with about 2 tablespoons whipped cream and sprinkle 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings or drizzle additional chocolate syrup over the top.

Enjoy
Serve immediately with a straw. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours (shake again before drinking).
