Ingredients
To bring this beloved treat to life, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
If you’re feeling adventurous or need some substitutions, you can try using almond milk for a dairy-free version or adding a pinch of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor. Cooking is all about experimentation and following your senses, just like my grandmother taught me.
Instructions
Ready to whip up this delightful treat? Follow these simple steps:
- In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, whole milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. You’re looking for a consistency that’s thicker than a milkshake but still drinkable.
- Pour the mixture into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- For an extra special touch, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Just like making homemade tortillas with my abuela, this recipe relies on your senses. Taste as you go, adjust to your liking, and most importantly, have fun!
