Nothing beats the taste of a delicious fudge brownie, but turning it into a milkshake can always be considered an improvement. Brownies and ice cream were naturally made for each other, so this drink is perfect.
Serving warm brownies with cold vanilla ice cream is a classic combination for dessert but what to do when the brownie cools and you want something a little different? The answer- Make a brownie shake.
This chocolate brownie shake is a perfect blend of flavors in every bite. Not too rich and just sweet enough to hit the spot. Perfect for chilling on a hot summer's day.
Why This Recipe Works
- It's great for using up leftover brownies! If you find yourself with brownie pieces going uneaten (I know, crazy, right?) then use them up in this fudge brownie milkshake.
- Minimal ingredients. Once you have ice cream and brownies all you really need is a splash of milk to bring it all together. Unless of course, you want to make Milkshakes Without Ice Cream then you'd have to adapt the recipe slightly to make it work.
- It's fast and cheap. This recipe comes together really quickly, especially if you already have the cooled brownie pieces on hand. It also comes together for less than $1 per large glass which could easily be divided into two smaller drinks for the kiddos.

🧾 Substitutions
Milk. If you want, you can use nondairy milk, low fat milk, or even half and half instead.
Ice cream. If you don't have vanilla ice cream you can use dairy free ice cream (like coconut based ice cream) or even vanilla frozen yogurt. I often use vanilla frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.
🍴 Recipe Tips
You can adjust the consistency of this milkshake to your own liking by adding in more ice (if you want it thicker) or more milk (if you want it thinner).
You can double or triple this brownie milkshake recipe as needed (assuming you can fit that much in your blender). This recipe only makes enough for one tall glass so if you're looking to make enough for a family, doubling or tripling will cut down on a lot of time by just blending it all together.
