Classic Chocolate Milkshake

Imagine you’re at a diner, perched up on a red-vinyl-upholstered stool, biting into the best burger ever. What are you drinking? A chocolate milkshake, obviously!

This recipe is basically the platonic ideal of a chocolate shake: We use a whole pint of ice cream, oodles of chocolate sauce, and — this is key — just a pinch of salt to bring out the chocolaty flavor. Then, we top it off with a swirl of whipped cream, a drizzle of indulgent chocolate, and of course, a bright red maraschino cherry.

It’s sweet, simple, slurpable goodness — perfect for a fun, family-friendly treat.
