Grandpa’s Famous Chocolate Milkshake

- Posted in Dessert, Drinks, Frozen Treats

This recipe is so easy it is ridiculous!
Take chocolate ice cream and fill a blender about half way. Add Longmont Dairy chocolate milk until it covers about ⅓ of the ice cream.

Use the “pulse” setting on the blender (turning the mixer on and off). Mix until you achieve the desired consistency (Grandpa likes thinner, uneven blending, but if you like smoother shakes you can mix until the texture is consistent and well blended).

P.S. Actually, this recipe is only famous among Grandpa’s grandchildren. It’s always a hit, but they will like it even better if you tell them it’s famous!
