The Best Homemade Milkshake
This Chocolate Milkshake is an incredibly creamy and rich chilled treat perfect for sipping on all year long! This easy, delicious recipe will have you voluntarily speeding by your favorite shake joint to head home and whip up instead!

I put chocolate syrup around the glass and this is the best chocolate icecream milkshake recipe around. I like how it is so easy to make without loads of extra unnecessary ingredients. There are so many milkshake recipes that claim to be thick, but they use far too much milk and are runny. This milkshake lived up to its description and was lovely and thick, thank you for the recipe!

Ingredients For Homemade Chocolate Milkshakes
These homemade Chocolate Milkshakes come together in no time using just 2 ingredients and your choice of toppings! All you need is your favorite brand of chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and toppings such as whipped cream, colorful fun sprinkles, and maraschino cherries!
The thick, chocolatey flavor of these milkshakes is out of this world but honestly, I’m a toppings girl! I LOVE toppings! You can literally dream up any topping to finish off these shakes with but here are some of my favorite ways:
- Trade in the canned store-bought whipped cream for Perfect Homemade Whipped Cream!
- Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce over the top or even caramel or hot fudge!
- Sprinkle some mini chocolate chips, mint chocolate chips, or even peanut butter chips over the whipped cream!
- Give these shakes a little boozy upgrade and top them with my Kahlua Whipped Cream!
- Swap out the sprinkles for crushed cookies like Oreos or Nutter Butters, chopped nuts, or crushed candies such as Twix or Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
See, there’s a ton of topping choices! Better make these shakes a couple of times to try out all the different toppings!

How To Make Chocolate Milkshakes
- Add the chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk to your blender and blend until smooth.
