Ingredients

Vanilla ice cream (2 cups)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Cold milk (1 1/2 cups)
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine cocoa powder, sugar, whole milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until warm and smooth (do not boil). Remove from heat.
2. In a blender, add 2 cups vanilla ice cream, 1 1/2 cups cold milk, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. While the blender runs, slowly drizzle the warm hot fudge sauce into the mixture. Continue blending until fully combined.
4. Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream.

Notes

Use high-quality cocoa for deeper chocolate flavor.
Drizzle fresh hot fudge sauce directly while blending for optimal texture.
Serve immediately for the best temperature contrast.
