Chocolate Milkshake Day

Chocolate Milkshake Day is September 12th, which means I’ve only got four days to plan for it! Just kidding, I’ll only need two.

Though the weather (in theory, anyway) is cooling down, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a nice cold chocolaty treat. Think of it as a farewell to summer!

The delicious drink couldn’t be easier to make. Simply put some chocolate ice cream, some milk and some chocolate syrup in a blender, give it a whirl, and voila — instant snack or dessert.

If you want to really get creative you can gently fold in some crumbled brownies or maybe a chocolate chip cookie, or add in some fresh fruit like strawberries and bananas during the blending process (Oreos would work well blended up, too!).

For a grownup version, you could even try an “Irish Violet Crumble.” I couldn’t actually find a recipe for this (it looks to be a specialty of a restaurant), though the source I got the picture above from says it involves whiskey, Baileys, ice cream, and dark chocolate. It certainly looks amazing!
