Cool down with this delicious super-choc milkshake.
INGREDIENTS
1 ltr chilled milk (4 cups)
12 scoops chocolate ice-cream
1 cup caster sugar
170 gm dark chocolate
80 ml of water
whipped cream to serve
shaved chocolate to serve
METHOD
1. For the chocolate syrup, stir sugar and 80ml water in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Brush downsides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to remove sugar crystals, bring to the boil and cook without stirring until dark caramel (3-4 minutes).
2. Remove from heat, add 400ml water (be careful, hot caramel will spit) and chocolate and stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then transfer to a container and refrigerate until required. Bring to room temperature before serving.
3. Pour a little chocolate syrup into 4 tall chilled serving glasses and refrigerate while you make the shakes. Blend milk, two-thirds of the ice-cream and chocolate syrup to taste in a blender until frothy, then pour into chilled glasses.
Add a scoop of ice-cream to each glass, top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate and serve.
