Make a Chocolate Milkshake for National Chocolate Milkshake Day

September 12 is National Chocolate Milkshake Day. So make a milkshake. You already have the excuse.

The Ninja 72-Ounce Professional Blender should be your go to. It has a 1,000-watt motor and Total Crushing blades, which is more than enough power for this job.

1. 2 cups chocolate ice cream
2. 1/2 cup milk
3. 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
4. Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and a cherry, optional

1. Pour the milk into the blender, followed by the ice cream and chocolate syrup.
2. Lock the lid in place and pulse two or three times.
3. Blend on medium for 20–30 seconds or until smooth.
4. Add more milk if it is too thick or another scoop of ice cream if it is too thin.
5. Pour it into a glass, add whipped cream and enjoy.

That’s literally it. Five ingredients if you’re counting the glass, which you should. Celebrate National Chocolate Milkshake Day like you actually know what you’re doing, and never get caught Googling ‘how to make a milkshake’ again.
