Christmas Version: Peppermint Cola Cao Chocolate Milkshake
Want a holiday twist? Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy cane over the whipped cream. The cool mint and the chocolate go together beautifully, and it is super delicious and Christmas-ready. Just crush a candy cane into small pieces, scatter it on top of your Cola Cao chocolate milkshake, and serve it right away so the candy stays crunchy.
Tips for the Best Milkshake
Use cold milk so the milkshake stays thick and refreshing. Blend only until smooth, serve it right away in a tall glass, and finish with the extra Cola Cao on top of the whipped cream for the classic look.
If you like a thicker milkshake, add a third scoop of ice cream. If you prefer it lighter, use a little less. Either way, the result is a simple, kid-friendly drink that the whole family can make together in the kitchen and enjoy at any time of the day.
