💡 Chef tips
- For a pareve (dairy-free) version, use non-dairy chocolate ice cream and oat milk or almond milk.
- Adding cocoa powder alongside chocolate syrup deepens the chocolate flavor without making the shake overly sweet.
- Chilling the glasses beforehand prevents the ice cream from melting too quickly as you pour.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished milkshake is frostily cold, decadent, and intensely chocolaty with a silky smooth, pourable texture.
