Storage/Reheating
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after preparation. Due to its frozen components, it does not store well in the refrigerator or freezer. If you need to make it ahead, prepare the milkshake base (without toppings) and store in the freezer for up to 1 hour. Re-blend before serving and add toppings fresh.
FAQs
How can I make this milkshake thicker?
Use less milk and more ice cream, or freeze the brownies slightly before blending for a thicker consistency.
Can I use store-bought brownies?
Yes, store-bought fudgy brownies work well and save preparation time.
Is it possible to use vanilla ice cream instead?
Yes, but the chocolate flavor will be milder. Add extra chocolate syrup for richness.
Can I make this milkshake without a blender?
You can mash the ingredients by hand with a fork or whisk, though the texture will be chunkier.
What kind of milk should I use?
Whole milk or cream gives the creamiest texture, but any milk, including dairy-free options, can be used.
Can I prepare this milkshake in advance?
It’s best served fresh, but you can pre-blend the base and freeze it briefly before serving.
How do I avoid the shake melting too quickly?
Use chilled glasses and avoid letting the shake sit out before serving.
Is this milkshake suitable for kids?
Yes, but due to its richness and calorie content, it’s best served as an occasional treat.
Can I add alcohol to make an adult version?
Absolutely. A splash of Irish cream or coffee liqueur can elevate it for adult guests.
What other toppings can I use?
Try crushed cookies, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles for variety.
