Tips & Substitutions
For an extra creamy texture, use premium vanilla ice cream. If you prefer a less sweet shake, adjust the chocolate syrup to taste or substitute with unsweetened cocoa powder. You can also experiment with flavored syrups, such as caramel or hazelnut, for a unique twist. For a dairy-free option, use coconut or almond milk ice cream.
