Keto Chocolate Milkshake
This Keto Chocolate Milkshake comes together in 5 minutes for a thick, creamy, and deeply chocolatey treat. The secret is blending the rich avocado and coconut milk base until smooth before adding ice for a perfect frosty texture.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (or heavy cream)
- 1/2 medium avocado
- 1-2 tablespoons cacao powder (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt (or salt of choice)
- 2-4 tablespoons erythritol (or sweetener of choice, to taste)
- 1/2 cup ice (as needed)
- water (as needed)
Optional add-ins
- chia seeds (ground (you'll need to add more water))
- MCT oil
- hemp hearts
- collagen peptides
- mint extract (or extract of choice)
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk, avocado, cacao powder, vanilla extract, salt, sweetener, and any add-ins to a blender, then blend until fully smooth, adding a little water only if the mixture needs help moving. The base should look glossy and even, with no green specks or avocado bits left behind.
- Add the ice and blend just until the shake turns thick and creamy, then pour and serve right away. Stop when the blender sound shifts from loud rattling to a lower, heavier churn and the shake looks thick enough to mound slightly against the sides.
Notes
Technique Tip: For the smoothest texture, blend all ingredients except the ice into a glossy base first. Then, add the ice and blend just long enough to get thick and frosty. Over-blending the ice will make the shake thin.
Sweetener Choice: To avoid a gritty texture, use a liquid sweetener which dissolves best in cold drinks. Powdered versions also blend more smoothly than coarse granulated sweeteners.
Storage: This shake is best served immediately. For a make-ahead option, blend the base (without ice), freeze it in an ice cube tray, and blend the cubes with a splash of liquid when ready.
Troubleshooting: If your milkshake is too thin, add a bit more avocado or ice and blend briefly to thicken it up.
