Rich & Creamy Easter Egg Chocolate Milkshake
This rich, creamy and indulgent Chocolate Milkshake can be made with any chocolate but it's a great way to use up leftover Easter Eggs. You can easily spike this shake with extra flavours or a drop of alcohol to add a personal touch if desired. Who says leftovers are boring now?
Ingredients
- 500 ml/ 2 cups Whole milk (see notes)
- 200 g/ 1 ⅓ cup Broken chocolate - leftover Easter Egg is ideal
Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Grated Chocolate
- Wafer Cigars
Optional Extras - all to taste
- Peppermint extract
- Rosewater
- Rum
- Baileys
- Cold coffee
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and put into a milk pan with ¼ of the milk
- Heat gently until the chocolate has completely melted - stirring constantly with a wooden spoon
- If drinking immediately, pour the chocolate milk and the rest of the milk (plus optional flavourings) into a blender with 2 ice cubes (not more else the drink will be watery) and blend until frothy
- If storing for later, pour into an airtight container with the rest of the milk and flavourings and refrigerate. When ready to serve blend - without ice - just to create those lovely bubbles
- Pour into glasses, top with cream, grated chocolate and a wafer cigar and serve immediately
Notes
Store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator - shake well or blend before serving. This is a sweet and rich drink. Once blended try a little and if it's too rich for your tastes just add a little extra milk to tone down the intensity.
