Ingredients

Scale

Milkshake Ingredients

  • 2 ounces brandy (such as Cognac or Korbel)
  • 2 ounces dark creme de cacao
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Toppings

  • Homemade whipped cream
  • Nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the brandy, dark creme de cacao, and vanilla ice cream into a blender.
  2. Blend: Blend the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and fully combined, ensuring a creamy texture without ice cream lumps.
  3. Pour and Top: Pour the milkshake into dessert glasses, then pipe or dollop fresh homemade whipped cream on top.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg over the whipped cream, serve with a straw, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use good-quality brandy for an authentic and rich flavor.
  • Dark creme de cacao adds deeper chocolate notes; you may substitute with clear creme de cacao for a lighter taste.
  • Homemade whipped cream yields the best texture and freshness but store-bought can be used in a pinch.
  • Adjust the amount of ice cream for a thicker or thinner milkshake.
  • The nutmeg garnish adds a warm spice note; freshly grated nutmeg is preferable.
