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.

💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- 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 Brownie Milkshake 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
Cooked brownie- You will need brownie pieces that have already been cooked and cooled completely. Day old brownies are great for this!
Vanilla ice cream - This creates the creamy base of the Brownie Milkshake and helps balance the chocolate from the brownies.
Milk - Just a small splash is needed to help everything blend into a smooth, drinkable consistency.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
🔀 Substitutions & Variations
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.
Optional Toppings: Add whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or maraschino cherries for extra flavor and a fun presentation. I like to crumble brownie pieces over my Brownie Milkshake.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use leftover brownies. Brownie scraps, edges, or day-old pieces are perfect here and help minimize waste.
Portion wisely. This Brownie Milkshake recipe makes one large shake, but you can split it into two kid-size servings to stretch your ingredients further.
🥄 Instructions for Brownie Milkshake
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.
👩🏻🍳 Expert 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.
🥗 Side Dishes or Pairing Ideas
Pair this brownie milkshake with snacks like popcorn, pretzels, or graham crackers for a sweet-and-salty combo. It also works well with simple lunches like grilled cheese or air fryer snacks. For a dessert spread, serve it with cookies, brownies, or fresh berries.
