How to Make Dad's Chocolate Milkshake

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 cups of vanilla ice cream.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk, mashing constantly with a potato masher or hand-held electric mixer until smooth and creamy. (Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if you prefer a thinner shake.)
  3. For a thicker, slightly chunkier milkshake, use less milk and mash less thoroughly. For a thinner milkshake, add more milk and mash until completely smooth.
  4. Add more cocoa powder (1/2 tablespoon at a time) to taste, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  6. Optional: Top with 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey indulgence.
