Chocolate milkshake recipe with step by step photos – easy and quick recipe to prepare delicious chocolate shake made with cocoa powder.
I wanted to share chocolate milkshake recipe from a long time. Finally made the recipe and took video. Chocolate milkshake also known as choco milkshake is a popular drink with all age groups. There are many methods of preparing chocolate milkshake. This is how I make it. I have always been making chocolate milkshake with cocoa powder.
To get the best taste in chocolate shake
- I would suggest using a good quality cocoa powder.
- Both ice cream and ice cubes are optional and you can skip them. You can add either vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream or choco chip ice cream in the milkshake.
- Without ice cream also the chocolate milkshake tastes good.
For a dairy free version of chocolate shake, you can use almond milk or soy milk.

This is SOOOOOO good! Thanks for making this! This milkshake was super easy to make and all the items I already had in my pantry! Definitely recommend adding ice cubs in it! It made it so much frostier. Too bad I didn’t have whipped cream though 🙁 1000% recommend this to anyone! I’m not kidding this is SO good!!!
Thanks a lot for the super feedback and review. Thanks for the rating too. Great to know. Most welcome.
Can I refrigerate the left over?
Yes you can
Give a try to honey.. rather than sugar.
Honey goes amazingly well with cocoa powder. I know that first instinct is – yuck honey in milk hahaha. But it tastes great! (Nearly equal quantity of cocoa powder and honey)
Plus, a pinch of salt and two drops of vanilla essence really bring up chocolate flavour!
I’m borrowing your method for my future preparations.. i.e. First making the syrup rather than simply putting everything together.
Thanks!
thanks for this suggestion akshay. never tried honey in a chocolate milkshake, but i will try it next time with the pinch of salt and vanilla extract. i do give honey mixed with some milk at times to the family and they are used to with that taste ????
hi, Can i use baking cocoa powder to replace cocoa powder mentioned in this recipe?
Thanks,
Meena
