Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 3 1/2 cups frozen Montmorency cherries, plus 2 cherries for garnish
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the chocolate swirls (optional), melt the chocolate by filling a large skillet halfway with water and bringing it to a simmer. Place the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl (metal or glass). Once the water is simmering, turn off the heat and place the bowl of chocolate in the water, then stir until it is melted. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate onto the paper in random swirl patterns. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until serving, at least 10 minutes.
- For the milkshakes, in a blender combine frozen Montmorency cherries, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and if desired, stir in chocolate swirls, leaving out 2 for a garnish. Serve immediately, garnished with chocolate swirls and extra frozen cherries.
