Hot Chocolate Milkshake

Hot Chocolate Milkshake

Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate Milkshake

Cold, creamy, chocolatey and completely over the top in the best possible way.

Not every Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate recipe needs an oven, a baking tray or even much patience.

Sometimes all you need is a blender, a few simple ingredients and a very serious appreciation for chocolate.

This Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate Milkshake is thick, creamy and packed with rich chocolate flavour. It is perfect for warm afternoons, weekend treats, dessert, or those moments when a normal glass of milk simply feels far too responsible.

Ingredients

  • 3 generous scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 3 tablespoons Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate powder
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 4–5 ice cubes, optional

For Serving

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Crushed chocolate biscuits
  • Extra Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate powder for dusting

Method

1. Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate powder, chocolate sauce and vanilla essence to a blender.

2. Add the ice cubes if you prefer your milkshake extra cold and thick.

3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

4. Check the consistency.

If you would like a thinner milkshake, add a splash more milk.

If you prefer it thicker, add another scoop of ice cream.

5. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Now Make It Look Ridiculous

A perfectly good chocolate milkshake can be served exactly as it is.

But where is the fun in that?

Top your Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate Milkshake with:

  • A generous swirl of whipped cream
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Crushed biscuits
  • A light dusting of Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate powder

You can even drizzle chocolate sauce around the inside of the glass before pouring in the milkshake.

Completely unnecessary.

Completely worth it.

Make It Extra Thick

If you love those almost-dessert-in-a-glass milkshakes, reduce the milk slightly and add an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream.

You can also freeze banana slices beforehand and blend a few into the mixture.

This makes the milkshake wonderfully thick and adds a subtle banana flavour that works beautifully with chocolate.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Milkshake

Add approximately 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the blender with the other ingredients.

Chocolate and peanut butter are already excellent friends, so there is very little risk involved here.

Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a little extra peanut butter if you are feeling particularly committed.

Rescue Roast® Mocha Milkshake

Of course, there is a coffee version.

Add approximately ¼ cup of chilled strong Rescue Roast® coffee to the blender and reduce the milk slightly.

The result is a thick chocolate-coffee milkshake with a delicious mocha flavour.

This is especially good on a warm afternoon when you cannot decide between coffee and dessert.

Now you do not have to.

Turn It Into a Freakshake

If subtlety has left the building completely, this recipe can very easily become a Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate Freakshake.

Try adding:

  • Whipped cream piled high
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate biscuits
  • Brownie pieces
  • Chocolate-coated pretzels
  • Caramel sauce
  • Chocolate chunks

At some point you may need a spoon instead of a straw.

That is usually a good sign.

250 g or 500 g?

Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate is available in both 250 g and 500 g bags.

The 250 g bag is perfect for enjoying traditional hot chocolate and experimenting with the occasional recipe.

But if your Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate is now regularly becoming puddings, cookies, cakes, breakfast treats, rocky road and milkshakes...

The 500 g bag may be the wiser choice.

Hot Chocolate Does Not Have to Be Hot

We have spent quite a lot of time proving that Rescue Roast® Hot Chocolate can become cakes, puddings, cookies and all sorts of other things.

But there is one very important point we should probably make.

Hot chocolate powder also makes an absolutely brilliant cold chocolate drink.

Add ice cream, blend it all together, pile something ridiculous on top and suddenly your afternoon has improved considerably.
