How to Make Thick Chocolate Shake

We all want a good sweet treat, and what better way to serve ourselves than a good chocolate milkshake just like McDonald’s. In this chocolate shake recipe, we want to achieve that thick but slushy gooey. So here are some tips to make your chocolate milkshake taste better.

• Use real full-fat ice cream. To get the best flavor out of your milkshake, make sure to use the full-fat flavored ice cream of your choice. Full-fat ice cream is also thicker and richer. It thickens better in a blender, and it goes perfectly well with your added toppings, too.
• Add milk to your mix. While blending all of your ingredients into the blender, add some milk to make the mixing process easier for you and to liquify your mixture. 
• If you want a thicker consistency, use whipped cream. Milk won’t be enough to thicken the mixture, so substitute half of the milk with whipping cream.
• Add ice when blending the ingredients. Ice will not only make your shake colder, but it can also give your drink a crystallized texture to make it thicker. But if you use ice, make sure to drink it up fast! Once the ice melts, your milkshake will thin out.

Upgrade Your McDonald’s Chocolate Shake With These Easy Tips

Making your homemade chocolate shake has never been this easy and enjoyable. To level up your sweet drink, check out these add-ons you can put on your glass of shake.

• Make it more chocolatey. Aside from chocolate chips, you can add Nutella or hot fudge for a sharp chocolate kick.
• Add toppings. You can add some colorful sprinkles to your whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel syrup, and top it with maraschino cherries.
• Add fruits to the mix. Aside from chocolate ice cream, you can add bananas or strawberries for a fruity flavor to your mix. This will give you a sweet and chocolatey taste but with a refreshingly healthy flavor too.
• Add a little bit of crunch. Level up the flavor and texture of your chocolate milkshake with crushed cookies or nuts. Go for the ultimate chocolate flavor with some Oreo cookies. Else, add some toasted pecans or almonds for a nutty take.
