How to Make Brownie Milkshake

Ingredients:

  • 2 brownies, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups chocolate or vanilla ice cream (8 large scoops), slightly softened
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Melted chocolate or ganache for drizzling
  • Brownie crumbs for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Glasses: Drizzle melted chocolate or ganache inside of the glass and let it drip down. Place the glasses in the freezer while you prepare the milkshake.

  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine softened ice cream, brownie chunks, and whole milk. Blend until smooth. (Feel free to add more brownie chunks for an extra fudgy texture!)

  3. Serve It Up: Remove the glasses from the freezer and fill them with the milkshake mixture.

  4. Add the Finale: Top with whipped cream, drizzle with additional chocolate or ganache, and sprinkle brownie crumbs on top.

  5. Enjoy: Sip and savor every delicious moment!

Practical Tips:

  • Don’t overmix your milkshake; you want to maintain some texture from the brownie chunks.
  • Use slightly softened ice cream for easy blending.

Best Pairings

This decadent Brownie Milkshake shines on its own, but pair it with some chocolate chip cookies for double the treat, or serve it alongside some fresh berries to introduce a burst of tanginess. For a celebratory touch, try it with homemade brownies or chocolate cake bites on the side—an unforgettable combination that amplifies the chocolate experience.

How to Store

Storage Instructions

  • Room Temperature: Best enjoyed immediately; it will begin to melt.
  • Refrigeration: If stored in the fridge, consume within 1 day, although the texture may change.
  • Freezer: If you find yourself with leftovers, freeze the milkshake for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving, but note it may require re-blending for the best consistency.

Expert Tips

For the best results, use high-quality chocolate ice cream to elevate the flavors. If you crave a thicker milkshake, reduce the amount of milk used, or add more ice cream. For a unique twist, sprinkle in some sea salt to accentuate the sweetness and bring out the chocolate flavors even more.

Delicious Variations

  • Vegan Option: Substitute dairy ice cream with coconut or almond milk ice cream and use vegan brownies.
  • Extra Chocolate: Incorporate chocolate syrup or cocoa powder into the milkshake for an even richer flavor.
  • Nutty Delight: Add a couple of tablespoons of nut butter for a delicious nutty flavor to complement the chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I use store-bought brownies?

    • Absolutely! Store-bought brownies work perfectly for this recipe.

  2. What can I substitute for milk?

    • Use almond milk, oat milk, or heavy cream for a richer texture.

  3. How can I thicken my milkshake?

    • Add more ice cream or reduce the amount of liquid you include.

  4. How long does it stay fresh?

    • The milkshake is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

  5. Can I make this without ice cream?

    • You could try a smoothie version with frozen bananas and almond milk, but the flavor and texture will differ!
