Nothing beats the taste of a delicious fudge brownie, but turning it into a brownie milkshake can always be considered an improvement. Brownies and ice cream were naturally made for each other, so this drink is perfect.
Recipe: $1.04 | Per Serving: $1.04 | Servings: 1
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 is- 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. This recipe is great for leftover Devil's Food Cake Mix Brownies!

🍯 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.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Cooked brownie- You will need brownie pieces that have already been cooked and cooled completely. Day old brownies are great for this!
Optional Toppings:
Whipped cream- No milkshake is complete without a heaping pile of whipped cream on top!
Chocolate sauce- Add a little more chocolatey goodness with some chocolate ice cream syrup.
Maraschino cherries- For a little color and garnish, add a maraschino cherry on the whipped cream before serving.
For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.
🧾 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.
🔪 Instructions for Brownie Milkshakes
Step 1: Put all ingredients into a blender.
Step 2: Blend on high for 30 seconds, until smooth, then pour into a serving glass.
Step 3: Top with whipped cream, and maraschino cherry, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
Serve immediately with a straw.
🍴 Recipe Tips
- Adjust consistency. You can adjust the consistency of this milkshake to your own liking by adding in more ice cream (if you want it thicker) or more milk (if you want it thinner).
- Scaling. Feel free to double or triple this brownie milkshake recipe as needed, provided your blender can accommodate the additional volume. This recipe yields enough for one tall glass, so if you're serving a family, doubling or tripling the ingredients will save time by blending everything together at once.
