A quick and easy indulgent milkshake blending fresh strawberries coated in melted dark chocolate with creamy vanilla ice cream and milk, topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and washed (about 150g)
  • 2 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or in chips
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened (480ml)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120ml), adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted (about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes). Avoid overheating.
  2. Add the hulled strawberries to the melted chocolate and gently stir to coat evenly. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly around the berries.
  3. In a blender, combine 2 cups of softened vanilla ice cream and 1/2 cup whole milk.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (if using). Blend briefly for about 10 seconds to combine.
  5. Add the chocolate-coated strawberries to the blender. Pulse a few times to break up the berries, then blend on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to adjust consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust flavor or texture by adding more ice cream for richness or extra strawberries for fruitiness, then blend again if desired.
  7. Pour the milkshake into tall serving glasses immediately. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish.

Notes

Use ripe strawberries for best natural sweetness. Thaw frozen strawberries slightly before blending. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning. Adjust milk quantity gradually to achieve desired thickness. Whipped cream topping is optional but recommended for extra indulgence.
