Chocolate shake recipe | Chocolate milkshake | Cold chocolate milk

By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 28 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Chocolate shake recipe – Delicious, thick and creamy chocolate milkshake recipe using cocoa powder. Chocolate shake is loved by most kids and mine are no different. I make chocolate milkshake for my kids only a few times in a month as their after school drink. There are days when I am unable to make any snack or fruit juice for the kids after their school, I end up making milkshakes as they are quick to make.

This is not a cafe style shake, but a simple home style chocolate milkshake that you can make for your kids sometimes. I do not use Ice cream in any of the milkshakes, however you can also add a scoop of eggless ice cream to the blender jar before you blend it or while serving it. Since I used milk ice cubes to make this chocolate milkshake thick and frothy, there is no need to add ice cream.

I usually boil the full fat milk, cool and add them to small 90 ml steel cups, cover and freeze them. Demould the milk ice cubes as needed and use them to make chocolate milkshake, dry fruits milkshake and coffee shake. I mostly use organic sugar, maple syrup or coconut palm sugar / jaggery to sweeten most of these.

I have used 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to make 1 large serving of this cocoa shake. Do reduce it if making for kids as too much cocoa is not good. One tbsp of cocoa powder contains about 12 mg of caffeine, so it is good to use cocoa powder in moderation. I also use real cinnamon powder as it prevents the kids from getting cold from cold beverages.

Do use good quality cocoa powder and not one that is low fat as it really doesn’t yield thick and creamy chocolate milkshake.

    Hi Swasthi,

    For how long will the milk ice cubes stay good? Can they be stored for a couple of days or do we have to use immediately?

      Hi kavitha
      I boil the milk, cool and then pour the milk in small steel cups, cover with a foil and freeze. They keep good for 3 to 4 weeks.

      Hi Rama!
      I am doing good. Thanks. You can try it with bournvita, boost, complan or any other cocoa flavored powders. You may need to mix the powder first in little hot water, cool it and then add to the blender.

      Hello swasthi!!
      I tried the banana shake and blended it but there are still chunks of bananas in the shake. To go on the positive side, I added some chocolate chips to cover up for my guests….. Can you find an alternative??

        Hi Shila,
        You will have to blend the nuts well first and then add the bananas.

      Hi JG,
      I used national panasonic super mixer grinder, that was a very old model i had until an year ago. It was really very good and could blend everything very well including the peanut butter. Now that model has stopped and has been upgraded to a new model which is not very good. I bought the new one and somehow not very happy with it. For the tough jobs, i suppose vitamix , high speed blender is the best.
