Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate cookies
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of crushed chocolate cookies. Ensure you have whipped cream and chocolate syrup ready for topping.
- In a blender, add the 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. This will be the base of your milkshake, providing a rich and creamy texture.
- Next, pour in 1 cup of milk. This will help achieve the desired consistency for your milkshake. If you prefer a thicker shake, you can reduce the amount of milk slightly.
- Add the 1/2 cup of crushed chocolate cookies into the blender. These will give your milkshake the signature cookies and cream flavor.
- Blend the mixture on medium speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the shake reaches a smooth consistency. This should take about 30-45 seconds. If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Once blended, taste the milkshake. If you desire a sweeter flavor, feel free to add a little more crushed chocolate cookies or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, then blend again briefly to mix.
- Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses. You can use a spatula to help transfer the thick shake if needed.
- Top each milkshake generously with whipped cream. This adds a delightful lightness and creaminess to your shake.
- Finally, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation. You can create a swirl or a zigzag pattern for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon and enjoy your homemade Copycat Chick-fil-A Cookies & Cream Milkshake!
Tips
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra-refreshing experience, pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before preparing the milkshake.
- Cookie Consistency Matters: Crush your chocolate cookies into fine, even pieces to ensure a smooth blend and consistent flavor throughout the shake.
- Ice Cream Temperature: Let the vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending to make it easier to mix and achieve a smoother consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of crushed cookies or add a splash of chocolate syrup directly into the blender to control the sweetness level.
- Whipped Cream Hack: For the most luxurious topping, use freshly whipped cream instead of store-bought for an extra-indulgent touch.
- Presentation is Key: Use a piping bag or a squeeze bottle to create beautiful chocolate syrup designs on top of your whipped cream.
- Make It Adult-Friendly: For a grown-up version, add a splash of Baileys or Kahlúa to transform this shake into a delightful cocktail.
