Chocolate milkshake recipe that is rich, creamy and delicious. With just four ingredients and a blender or mixer you can make the yummiest chocolate thick shake better than any cafe. This is a real deal, not just a thick homemade chocolate milk in the name of shake 🙂 Make a tall glass of this deliciousness, sit back and enjoy!

Thick shakes are my absolute favorites and I can have the everyday. While having milkshakes everyday is not practical I do take full advantage of summer and make them often. While we enjoy fruity shakes with mango, strawberry or with veggies and nuts like carrot, almond often, I prepare butterscotch or this chocolate milkshake occasionally as treat.

This chocolate shake is a real deal guys. It is not a thick version of homemade chocolate milk where you stir in cocoa powder with milk and sugar. No offense to chocolate milk, it is equally delicious and my favorite too but chocolate milk is milk and milkshake is milkshake 🙂 While I am all for eating healthy food everyday, this chocolate shake does not come anywhere near healthy ) I rarely make this and it has to to spot on!

So if you are looking for a really good summer afternoon pick me up or a dessert after a good meal or a holiday treat for kids this recipe will be your best bet.

Ingredients You Will Need

So to make the best chocolate shake recipe you need just 4 ingredients. When you need very less ingredients in a recipe, let them be of finest quality.

Here you will need chocolate ice cream, milk, honey and vanilla. Yes try to honey in this recipe as it makes all the difference. The flavor of this milkshake with honey is so good and rich. I have also used a splash of my homemade chocolate sauce here. If you have store bought ones like Hershey’s chocolate syrup you can use it in this chocolate milkshake recipe. Even caramel sauce can be used as variant in flavor.

For this recipe I have used my homemade chocolate ice cream. It is an eggless custard base ice cream and one of the creamiest ice cream you will make at home. So that added to the richness of this chocolate shake. Use full fat or whole milk. During summer I always have frozen milk handy for quick shakes. Just boil, cool and freeze the milk in small boxes. You can use this milk for thick shakes.

I prefer to use honey while making any chocolate based beverage like this milkshake or hot chocolate. Honey simply elevates the chocolate flavor. You will know once you try 🙂

Chocolate Shake With Cocoa Powder

This is a quick and easy alternative if you do have chocolate ice cream handy. Though not as creamy and rich like the real one, this is sure enough to please the kids in short notice.

Bring 1/2 cup water to a rolling boil. To that add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and mix well without lumps. Adding cocoa powder to boiling water will make it bloom and intensify the flavor of cocoa.
