💡 Chef tips
- For an extra thick milkshake, chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before pouring.
- If you want a deeper chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of high-quality cocoa powder to the blender.
- To make this ahead, blend the mixture and pour it into an ice cube tray to freeze, then re-blend with a splash of milk when ready to serve.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished milkshake should be thick, smooth, and pourable, with a deep cocoa aroma and a rich, creamy texture that coats the palate.
