According to Gary Schaefer and Barbara Fingold, co-owners of Snow’s Nice Cream Co. in Greenfield, three ingredients make a milkshake — milk, syrup, and ice cream. Fingold also uses a milkshake machine, which mixes without liquefying. Match the syrup and ice cream (such as chocolate and chocolate), or mix the two (chocolate and coffee).
| 3 | cups whole milk |
| 1/2 | cup chocolate syrup |
| 3 | cups (24 ounces) chocolate ice cream |
1. You will need to make this in two batches. In a blender combine 1 1/2 cups of the milk, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, and 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) ice cream. Pulse a few times, until mixed but still lumpy. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses.
2. Use the remaining milk, syrup, and ice cream to make 2 more milkshakes.
