Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 500 g 4 cups chocolate ice cream
- 240 ml 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred, adjust for thickness)
- Whipped cream or whipped topping for garnish
- 4-6 chocolate cookies like sandwich cookies
- Mini Oreo cookies whole (for decoration)
- 2 chocolate bars
- Chocolate sauce for rim and drizzling
- Pretzels for garnish
- Peanuts crushed or whole, for the rim (variation 1)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Rim
- Melt the chocolate bars in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the rim of one milkshake glass into the melted chocolate and immediately coat it with peanuts (for the peanut rim version).
- For the Oreo rim version, dip another glass into the melted chocolate and carefully stick whole mini Oreos around the rim while the chocolate is still soft.
- Let rims set in the fridge for 5–10 minutes so decorations hold firmly.
Step 2: Make the Shake
- In a blender, combine chocolate ice cream and milk. Blend until smooth and thick.
- Taste and adjust: add more milk if you want it thinner, or more ice cream if you want it thicker.
Step 3: Assemble
- Pour the shake into each decorated glass.
- Top generously with whipped cream.
- Add pretzels, extra cookies, and chunks of chocolate as garnish.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce over the whipped cream and down the sides of the glass for a dramatic effect.
