Orange Chocolate Milkshake

Though this shake isn’t as thick as some, it’s still incredibly rich and really satisfies that chocolate craving. In the evening, I love to add Triple Sec or orange liqueur to make it even more indulgent. The liqueur really adds even more depth and makes the shake something special. But either way, I’m sure you’ll find it delicious!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 2 servings

Ingredients

3/4 cup churned, fat-free chocolate ice cream (I used Breyer’s Double Churn)
3/4 cup frozen mango cubes
3/4 cup 100% orange juice (not from concentrate)
1 ounce Triple Sec or orange liqueur, optional

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Add the ice cream, mango, orange juice, and Triple Sec (if using) to the jar of a blender with ice-crushing ability. Make sure the lid is on tight. Using an ice crush setting, blend the ingredients until they are relatively smooth, about 1 minute. Then blend on the liquefy or the high speed setting for about 10 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth. Serve immediately.
