Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cherry liqueur
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Chill two tall glasses in the freezer for about 5 minutes to ensure a frosty presentation.
- Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to make blending easier.

- Drizzle the inside of each chilled glass with chocolate syrup, creating decorative swirls along the glass walls.
- Carefully pour the blended milkshake mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them almost to the top.
- Garnish each milkshake with a few maraschino cherries, either placed on top or skewered on a cocktail pick.
- Optional: Add an additional drizzle of chocolate syrup on top of the milkshake for extra indulgence.
- Serve immediately while the milkshake is cold and frothy, using a wide straw for optimal enjoyment.
Tips
- Temperature is key: Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the milkshake frosty and prevent rapid melting.
- Soften ice cream slightly for smoother blending, but don't let it melt completely.
- Use high-quality chocolate ice cream for the richest flavor profile.
- For a more intense cherry flavor, choose a premium cherry liqueur.
- Create beautiful chocolate syrup swirls inside the glass for a professional presentation.
- Experiment with different garnishes like chocolate shavings or dark chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute cherry liqueur with cherry syrup or juice.
