Malted Chocolate Milkshake with Homemade Chocolate Syrup

[gringalicious]

I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys today! Not that it’s a new concept or anything. In fact, chocolate malts are about as easy and basic as it gets. They’re a classic.

It’s just that I had so much fun making and photographing these, in those tall glasses, with cherries on top!

So, yesterday was like a perfect summer day here. The sun came out and the sky was so clear and it just made you feel like you wanted something cool to drink. That’s when I knew I had to make a Milkshake! I broke out the rationed malted milk (with an imaginary choir in my head singing the high note of the Hallelujah chorus.) and I made these milkshakes.

I realize, after living in Chile so long, that some of you are probably somewhere that is cold and/or snowing right now, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t appreciate a good milkshake too. Just sip it while snuggling near your fireplace, of course.

This is the kind of recipe that can be as easy as you’d like it to be. I like to make everything from scratch so I’m sharing my recipe for homemade chocolate ice-cream and basic chocolate syrup with you guys.

If you don’t have the patience for the ice cream or you’re uncomfortable around boiling sugar feel free to skip them both and use good quality store-bought. You will still have a great milkshake.

What do you think? Are you a do-it-yourself-er or do you prefer to keep it simple?

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

Wow this is amazing and very useful for me I happen to open a small little restaurant, it is very steady for me to make a menu in my cafe .. especially now that I was hit by that summer all drinks should be cold. For an atmosphere like this. Thank you for sharing in this post-@gringalicious

[gringalicious]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment @arjunmartavela

[gamefiles]

Oh yummy. I like that you used real cherries instead of candied cherries, people think candied cherries look better on milkshakes but I feel like they ruin it when they melt and also they taste horrible too.

[gringalicious]

You are so correct, real are so much better. Great comment, thanks so much for stopping by @gamefiles

[drobinson]

I have a thing for malts! How about the recipe?

[gringalicious]

Just shared it. Thanks @drobinson!

[drobinson]

Don't have a calculation on this one, sorry

[brianphobos]

Looks amazing! I will take 5 of them!

[gringalicious]

[brianphobos]

I ended up going to Wal-Mart and getting a box of 8 drumsticks and eating 4 of them right after I got home. It is the sad reality!

[gringalicious]

Two or three more pool meetings and it will all be good, I'm sure of it

[brianphobos]

Yeah that is true. I will just play basketball and have pool meetings.
