Base Shake & Cheesecake

Method

Prepare Glasses & Garnish

1

Optional rim

Chill 2 large milkshake glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle dark chocolate syrup around the inside of each chilled glass in a spiral. Place a few crushed chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs on a small plate and press the rim of each glass into the crumbs to create a light cookie rim.

2

Set glasses aside in the freezer while you make the shake so the syrup firms slightly.

Make the Chocolate Cheesecake Shake

3

Soften the cream cheese: if not fully softened, microwave the 4 oz cream cheese for 8–10 seconds to make it easily blendable.

4

In a blender, add 3 cups vanilla ice cream, the softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Note: use 3/4 cup milk at first and add more later to adjust thickness.

5

Add the chocolate elements to the blender: 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 4 tablespoons dark chocolate syrup, and 3 tablespoons hot fudge sauce.

6

Blend on medium-high for 25–40 seconds until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to fully incorporate the cream cheese and chocolate chips. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add up to 1/4 cup more milk (one tablespoon at a time) to reach a thick milkshake consistency.

7

Taste and adjust: if you want it sweeter or more chocolatey, add another tablespoon of hot fudge or 1 additional tablespoon of sugar and blend briefly.

8

Fold in cookies: reserve 2 tablespoons of the chopped chocolate sandwich cookies for garnish. Remove the blender jar from the base and stir in the remaining chopped cookies (about 4 cookies worth) with a spatula—do not over-blend so you keep crunchy pieces.

Assemble & Garnish

9

Pour: remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and pour the shake evenly between the two glasses. If you did the interior chocolate syrup spiral, let some of the shake flow down the syrup for a marbled effect.

10

Top each shake with a generous swirl of whipped cream (about 1/2 cup whipped cream per glass).

11

Drizzle: finish each with 1/2 tablespoon hot fudge and 1/2 tablespoon dark chocolate syrup over the whipped cream.

12

Garnish: sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs, 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings on each. Add a pinch of sea salt over the top to amplify chocolate flavor.

13

Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
