There’s nothing like a tall, icy-cold Chocolate Milkshake when it comes to frozen treats. Elevate this timeless soda shop favorite with our quick and effortless 1-minute microwave chocolate sauce. Our secret ingredient? Dutch process cocoa powder, which transforms your shake into an extraordinary chocolatey delight! Almost every chocolate milkshake recipe I’ve seen calls for just three ingredients – Hershey’s chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Mine has a few more ingredients, but we’re not reinventing the wheel here. Instead we are elevating our chocolate milkshakes with a simple 1-minute homemade chocolate sauce that really boosts the chocolate flavor. Our secret to creating the best chocolate milkshake of your life is using dutch processed cocoa powder. It packs a much more chocolatey punch and the flavor of the chocolate sauce is much deeper and richer than using plain Hershey’s syrup.
What You’ll Need
Scroll down to the recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder – This type of cocoa powder gives a darker, smoother, less bitter taste than natural unsweetened cocoa powder, which makes it perfect for chocolate milkshakes. Granulated Sugar – For just the right amount of sweetness to balance the cocoa powder so the chocolate sauce isn’t bitter. Water – Provides the liquid for the base of the homemade chocolate sauce. Ice Cream – Use your favorite vanilla ice cream. For an even MORE chocolatey shake you can use chocolate ice cream. Milk – Whole milk gives the best results for milkshakes, but you can even get away with nonfat if that’s what you have in the fridge at home.
