Melt the Chocolate – In a microwave or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the shake.
Blend the Ingredients – In a blender, combine the chocolate ice cream, milk or heavy cream, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sugar or honey (if using). Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Adjust the Consistency – If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, blend in more ice cream for a thicker texture.
Prepare the Glass – Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the serving glass for a decorative touch.
Pour and Garnish – Pour the chocolate shake into the glass and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a final drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Serve and Enjoy – Grab a straw, take a sip, and enjoy the rich, indulgent taste of your homemade gourmet chocolate shake!
