Chocolate Freakshake

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 2 large scoops chocolate ice cream (about 300 g)
• ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
• 2 tbsp chocolate syrup, plus extra for glass rim
• Whipped cream (from a can or freshly whipped)
• 1 small brownie, cut into chunks
• 1 chocolate bar (e.g. Snickers, Twix), broken into pieces
• 1 tbsp chocolate sprinkles
• 1 maraschino cherry

Equipment

• Blender
• Tall milkshake glass (500–600 ml capacity)
• Spoon and straw
• Small plate or shallow bowl

Instructions

1. Prepare the glass:
   • Pour a little chocolate syrup onto a small plate or shallow bowl.
   • Dip the rim of the glass into the syrup, then immediately dip into the sprinkles to coat.
   • Drizzle extra syrup inside the glass in a swirly pattern.
2. Make the shake:
   • In the blender, combine chocolate ice cream, milk and 2 tbsp chocolate syrup.
   • Blend on high until smooth but still thick—avoid over-blending.
3. Assemble:
   • Pour the milkshake into the prepared glass, leaving about 2 cm from the top.
   • Top generously with whipped cream.
   • Press brownie chunks and chocolate bar pieces into the whipped cream so they stick.
   • Drizzle additional chocolate syrup over the top.
   • Sprinkle a few more chocolate sprinkles and finish with a maraschino cherry.
4. Serve immediately with a sturdy straw and long spoon. Enjoy before it melts!

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, rim the glass with melted chocolate and crushed Oreos.
• Swap brownies for cookie dough bites or waffle pieces.
• Add a shot of espresso for a mocha twist.
