Ingredients
- 3 cups Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 2 cups Brownie Pieces (divided)
- Whipped Cream, for topping
- Caramel Sauce, for drizzling
- Chocolate Syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Step 1: (Optional) Drizzle caramel sauce and chocolate syrup inside of your cups, then rotate the cups to swirl the sauce around the glass for extra flavor and presentation.
- Step 2: Add the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and 1 ½ cups of brownie pieces to your blender. Blend for 30–45 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: Pour the milkshake evenly into your prepared glasses. Top each with whipped cream and the remaining brownie pieces before serving.
Tips & Variations

- For a thicker shake, reduce the milk slightly or add more ice cream.
- Swap caramel and chocolate syrup for a peanut butter or raspberry drizzle for a different twist.
Storage
Brownie milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Stir well before drinking, and add extra ice cream if the texture has thinned. Milkshakes do not freeze well once blended.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use other types of ice cream for this recipe?
Yes! While vanilla bean enhances the brownie flavor nicely, you can substitute with chocolate, coffee, or even caramel ice cream for a unique taste.
How do I prevent the brownies from getting soggy in the shake?
Adding the brownies just before blending (not soaking them) keeps their texture. Using sturdy, fudgy brownies works best to hold up in the milkshake.
