YaYa’s Chocolate Milkshake
This simple Chocolate Milkshake from Mama Shirley’s old recipe box is creamy, sweet, and nostalgic; just like the ones we used to sip on hot Carolina afternoons. With just three ingredients, it’s the perfect treat for a quick chocolate fix or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons finely crushed ice
- ¾ cup milk
- 2½ tablespoons chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker or mixing bowl.
- Beat with an egg beater or shake thoroughly until smooth and frothy.
- Strain into a tall glass for serving.
- If your ingredients are already chilled, you can skip the ice.
Yaya’s Tips for Success
The secret to this creamy milkshake is using very cold ingredients and plenty of mixing to get that foamy top.
- Use whole milk for the richest texture.
- Chill your glass beforehand for an old-fashioned soda fountain touch.
- Try using homemade chocolate syrup from YaYasCookbook.com for an even deeper flavor.
Yaya’s Customization Ideas
You can easily turn this milkshake into something special for any occasion.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a thicker, malt-shop-style shake.
- Stir in a pinch of instant coffee for a mocha twist.
- Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of syrup for presentation.
