Craving a hot chocolate, but the Summer heat waves just aren't allowing it? I got you covered with an easy cocoa milkshake recipe, perfect for a hot day. This rich chocolate milkshake comes together wonderfully with only three ingredients; cocoa powder, whole milk and ice cream. Dust off your blender. We got chocolate shakes to make! Not that long ago, I posted a coconut shake recipe consisting of light and luscious flavors. Though, the coconut shake is absolutely
delicious, I couldn't leave all of my chocolate lovers hanging. Cocoa milkshakes are just as easy to make, but leaves you with all the comforting hot cocoa vibes meant for warmer weather. Pull out your blender, ice cream scooper and measuring cup to prepare the milkshake.
Have a tall glass or milkshake glass ready to pour the shake into. Don't you just love a warm weather treat that calls for minimal ingredients! See recipe card for quantities. Visit the Shakes & Smoothies tab to find more refreshing shakes to enjoy during the warm weather months, such as a
strawberry peach shake or a pineapple banana shake. Make it vegan and dairy-free: Not everyone can tolerate dairy. A great way to make the shake vegan and dairy-free is by replacing the ice cream with
frozen banana slices or a coconut based ice-cream, and using a whole milk alternate such as coconut milk. Though, the overall texture will be similar to a traditional milk shake, the final flavor will be a little different. But still delicious, of course! Equipment
