Instructions
- Step 1: Using a small spoon, drizzle some melted chocolate or ganache inside of the glass. Then spoon more chocolate or ganache over the rim, allowing it to drip down. Place the glasses in the freezer to set while you prepare the milkshake.

- Step 3: Pour the milkshake into the prepared glasses. Top with whipped cream, extra ganache or melted chocolate, and sprinkle with brownie crumbs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Use chocolate or vanilla ice cream depending on your preferred flavor profile; vanilla lets the brownie flavor shine through more distinctly.
- For a richer shake, substitute whole milk with heavy cream or half-and-half.
- Try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the blender for a mocha twist.
- If you don’t have ganache, melted chocolate chips work well for drizzling and rimming.
Storage
This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor. If you need to store it, keep it covered in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Re-blend gently before serving if separation occurs. The brownie chunks may become less soft over time.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this milkshake vegan?
Yes, substitute dairy ice cream with a plant-based alternative and use a non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk. Choose dairy-free brownies and vegan chocolate for the ganache and drizzle.
What can I use if I don’t have brownies on hand?
You can replace brownies with chocolate chip cookies, cake pieces, or even fudge chunks to maintain a similar texture and flavor in the milkshake.
