1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups ice cubes

Whipped cream (for topping)

Chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

    Blend Mixture: Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until all ingredients are well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
