The Best Chocolate Milkshake

You need 4 simple ingredients to make the best chocolate milkshake ever that tastes like it came from a old school mom and pop diner! Rich, creamy and easy to make in 1 minute!

The Best Chocolate Milkshake Recipe

This is our go-to best chocolate milkshake for when we want a little weekend treat. It’s super chocolaty, ultra creamy, and has just the right pinch of salt to make all the flavors pop. My family swears this is the creamiest homemade chocolate milkshake, and after one sip, I’m pretty sure you’ll agree!

And the best part? It’s so easy. Just toss everything into the blender, hit a button, and boom — a thick, classic chocolate milkshake that tastes like it came from an old-school diner.

How to Make a Milkshake

Throw all the ingredients into your blender and blend until creamy, making sure not to over blend.

Personally I like to pulse my blender a couple of times to make the perfect consistency – not too soft, not too hard. I like a milkshake that I can drink with a straw, or use a spoon, so a couple pulses usually does the job.

Now pour the mixture into 2 cups and enjoy your milkshakes!
