Liquids and Spirits
- 2 ounces brandy (such as Cognac or Korbel)
- 2 ounces dark creme de cacao
Dairy
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Homemade whipped cream, for topping
Garnish
- Combine Ingredients: Place 2 ounces of brandy, 2 ounces of dark creme de cacao, and 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a blender. This mixture forms the base of the milkshake, blending the creamy and boozy flavors together.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a rich and creamy texture without ice cream lumps.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the blended milkshake into dessert glasses. Generously pipe homemade whipped cream over the top for a creamy finish, then sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg to add a hint of warm spice.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw to savor this decadent, boozy milkshake experience.
Notes
- Use dark creme de cacao for a richer chocolate flavor; white creme de cacao can be substituted but will alter taste.
- For homemade whipped cream, whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the milkshake colder longer.
- Adjust the amount of brandy to taste, but be mindful of alcohol content if serving to guests.
- Nutmeg can be freshly grated or pre-ground, but fresh nutmeg provides the best aroma and flavor.
