Is there anything better than an all-out sinful chocolate shake? Well, perhaps one topped with PLENTY of whipped cream! Here's our recipe for the ultimate chocolate shake - with extra chocolate sauce. Enjoy!

Directions

1. Mix the boiling water and cocoa powder and stir until the cocoa is dissolved.

2. Mix with syrup, vanilla sugar, whole milk and ice cubes in a blender, or use a hand blender in a jug. Blend on full whack until the ice cubes are no more. 'Season' to taste with syrup - but keep in mind that we'll be adding sweet chocolate sauce, too.

3. Before serving, squirt chocolate sauce into the glasses - it looks especially nice if you can pipe it along the inside of the glasses.

4. Pour the shakes into glasses and top with squirty cream and straws - and YAY, it's finally slurpy time!

5. Enjoy!

Tasks for younger kids in the kitchen: Let your kids help add the ingredients to the blender or jug. They'd probably also like to help taste test the milkshake..!
