Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 ounces Mexican chocolate, chopped or grated (or substitute with semi-sweet chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- optional Whipped cream
- optional Cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the Mexican chocolate in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval to ensure it melts evenly and does not burn. This step should take about 45 seconds to a minute.
In a blender, combine the melted Mexican chocolate, whole milk, vanilla ice cream, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high speed for 30-40 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness, if needed. Add a small amount of sugar or honey if you prefer it sweeter, and blend for another 10 seconds.
Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses.
Top each glass with whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with a cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of flair.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your rich and spiced Mexican Milkshake!
