Chocolate Milk Shake

Introduction:-

“Chocolate”........As soon as I listen the name, my all senses are filled with delight. It is always hard to resist the pleasure of a sumptuous piece of chocolate and no doubt, it really requires smartness to deal with ingredient like chocolate for recipes. But personally, It’s one of my hot favourite ingredient and I love to make desserts out of chocolate. It’s always a must have product in my fridge. Chocolate milkshake is also the best use of all the gifted/leftover dairy milk chocolates (my childhood favourite) on B’day and parties.  Here I’m writing a very cool, super delicious and easy to make “Chocolate milkshake”, which is a favourite of my family and friends and even some of them can get up in sleep too, to satiate their taste buds with this creamy milkshake.

Ingredients:

Dark chocolate compound: 30 gms OR

Dairy Milk/ Plain readymade chocolate: 30 gms

Coco powder: 1 tsp

Full cream milk: 1 Glass

Sugar: 2 Tbsp

Vanilla Ice cream: 1 Scoop

Ice Cubes: 3-4

Serves:  1 person

Preparation time: 2 mins

Cooking time: 3-4 mins

 

Method:

Take all the chocolate in a sauce pan. Add 2 -3 Tbsp of milk to it and put it on stove to melt. Keep it stirring with a spoon and within 2 mins chocolate will melt and become soft and smooth to mix.

At this stage, add the melted chocolate to the milk. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, ice cubes and ice cream. With the help of hand blender, blend all the ingredients thoroughly to make smooth, creamy milkshake.

Taste and adjust the consistency and sugar as per your like.

Serve the chilled creamy chocolate milkshake with some melted chocolate sauce, whipped cream, scoop of vanilla ice cream or with choco chips on top.

 

Note:

 
1. As soon as the chocolate melts, immediately add it to the milk and whisk it. Else the chocolate may solidify and becomes lumpy.
2. Use plain dark chocolates instead of fruit & nut, almond bites or other flavoured chocolate for best milkshake.
3. You can vary the quantity of chocolate and ice cream as per your calorie count.
4. You can also add chocolate ice cream instead of plain vanilla ice cream.
5. Adding ½ tsp instant coffee powder also makes wonderful milkshake.
6. You can also add some fruits and relish amazing fruit smoothies like Choco banana shake
