Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Milkshake Ingredients
- 2 large scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 brownie (about 2×2 inches)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Toppings
- Whipped cream for topping
- Extra brownie crumbles for garnish (optional)

How to Make Brownie Milkshake
Step 1: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients
Before you start blending, make sure all your ingredients are ready to go. Let your ice cream soften for a minute or two at room temperature so it blends smoothly, and crumble your brownie into bite-sized pieces for even mixing.
Step 2: Blend It All Together
Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, brownie, and chocolate syrup into your blender. Blend on high speed until everything is silky smooth and well combined. If you like your Brownie Milkshake extra thick, use a little less milk; for a thinner shake, splash in a bit more milk until it’s just right for your taste.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give your milkshake a quick taste test. Want it a bit more chocolatey? Add another drizzle of chocolate syrup. Prefer a denser texture? Toss in another scoop of ice cream. This is your moment to customize!
Step 4: Pour and Top
Pour your creamy Brownie Milkshake into a tall glass. Top generously with whipped cream, sprinkle on those extra brownie crumbles, and finish with a dramatic swirl of chocolate syrup. Grab a straw (or a spoon for the thickest shakes) and get ready to dive in.
How to Serve Brownie Milkshake

Garnishes
The right garnish turns a simple Brownie Milkshake into a showstopper. Pile on a mountain of whipped cream, scatter extra brownie pieces for texture, and drizzle chocolate syrup for that irresistible, glossy finish. If you’re feeling extra fancy, a cherry on top or some chocolate sprinkles add a playful touch.
Side Dishes
Pair your Brownie Milkshake with salty snacks like popcorn or pretzels to balance the sweetness, or serve alongside fresh berries for a pop of color and brightness. If you’re making this for a party, mini cookies or a plate of sliced fruit make delightful companions.
Creative Ways to Present
Let your imagination run wild! Serve your Brownie Milkshake in a mason jar for a rustic vibe, or use a vintage milkshake glass for classic diner flair. Rim the glass with chocolate syrup and sprinkles, or skewer a mini brownie and perch it on top as an edible stir stick—it’s all about having fun with it!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While Brownie Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, you can keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to a day. Just pour the shake into an airtight container and pop it in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before drinking, as it may separate a bit over time.
Freezing
If you want to prep ahead, pour your blended milkshake into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to a week. When you’re ready for your treat, let it thaw slightly, then stir or re-blend to bring back that creamy texture. It’s almost like having brownie ice cream on hand!
Reheating
No need to reheat your Brownie Milkshake, but if it’s too firm after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or blend briefly with a splash of milk to get it perfectly sippable again.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought brownies?
Absolutely! Store-bought brownies work just as well as homemade in this Brownie Milkshake. Choose a fudgy brownie for the richest flavor and best texture.
What’s the best way to make a vegan Brownie Milkshake?
Swap in your favorite plant-based vanilla ice cream, use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat, and pick a vegan brownie. Top with coconut whipped cream for a luscious vegan treat!
Can I double or triple the recipe?
Yes, you can easily scale up the ingredients to make multiple servings. Just be sure your blender can handle the extra volume, and adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
How can I make the shake even more chocolatey?
Try using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, add extra chocolate syrup, or even toss in a spoonful of chocolate chips before blending for an ultra-indulgent Brownie Milkshake.
Is it possible to make this without a blender?
If you don’t have a blender, you can soften the ice cream and mash everything together by hand with a sturdy whisk or spoon. The result will be more rustic, but every bit as delicious!
