Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
  • 1 cup whole milk (very cold)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
 

  • Add vanilla ice cream, cold milk, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar to a blender.
  • Blend on medium speed until thick and creamy.
  • The consistency should be thicker than a milkshake but thinner than ice cream.
  • Pour into a container and freeze for 1–2 hours, stirring once halfway through to maintain smoothness.
  • Scoop into cups and serve with a spoon or straw.

Notes

  • Use full-fat vanilla ice cream for best texture.
  • Very cold milk helps keep it thick.
  • Do not over-blend or it will become too thin.
  • Light chocolate flavor is key to authenticity.
  • Freeze briefly if mixture is too soft.
  • Stir during freezing to avoid ice crystals.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Serve immediately after freezing for best consistency.
