Optionally, drizzle chocolate syrup inside a serving glass to add a touch of decadence.
Step 4: Assemble the Shake
Pour the blended milkshake mixture into the prepared glass.

Variations:
- Dietary Adjustments: Use dairy-free ice cream and almond or soy milk for a vegan version.
- Flavor Twists: Experiment with different flavors of M&M’s or ice cream for new taste profiles.
Notes
For the best texture, use ice cream that is slightly softened for easier blending.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the milkshake’s creamy texture and the crunchy contrast of the M&M’s.
Tips:
- For a cleaner look when drizzling chocolate syrup in the glass, use a squeeze bottle or a spoon for more control.
- To prevent the milkshake from becoming too runny, ensure the ice cream is cold and not overly soft.
