Recipe Notes :
Milk Options: For a richer taste, use full-fat milk; for a dairy-free version, almond or oat milk are excellent alternatives.
Ice Cream Variations: While chocolate ice cream is traditional, vanilla or cookies and cream can add unique flavors.
Flavor Enhancements: Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to elevate the taste.
Garnishing Tips: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
Serving Suggestion: Chill the serving glasses in the freezer before pouring the shake to keep it cooler longer.
