Mocha Madness Milkshake #SundaySupper
Summer Chillin’ is the theme for today’s Sunday Supper and I have the PERFECT recipe…Mocha Madness Milkshake.
Down here in sunny South Florida, the temperature is well into the 90’s most days. This, of course, means that I want something icy cold, creamy and delicious.
What sets this milkshake apart from others is the decadent chocolate creamy base. The idea for this base came to me after making Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream.
The thick chocolate mixture blends beautifully with coffee ice cream and milk to create the most heavenly mocha milkshake. I just HAD to call it Mocha Madness Milkshake.
Some people may be inclined to enjoy Mocha Madness Milkshake for dessert. I on the other hand believe a drink this scrumptious must be served at the beginning of your meal. It’s like drinking a glass of milk….a very, very ‘special’ one!

- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ounce semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons water
- 12 scoops coffee ice cream (almost 1½ quarts)
- ½ cup milk (skim, 1%, 2% or whole)
- chocolate sauce (optional)
- Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate chips and water into a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave for 30 seconds more, if necessary and stir until smooth.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Place the ice cream into a blender. Add the chocolate mixture and milk. Blend until the mixture is processed.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce onto the sides of a glass. Pour Mocha Madness Milkshake into the glass and serve.

Many people may protest and say stop the decadent madness…But not me! Coffee ice cream combined with the delectable additions of chocolate look and sound divine. P.s. Agreed…Milkshakes count as mealtime milk =)
Kim a/k/a The Ninja Baker,
I KNEW you would understand. After all, great minds think alike!! 😉
WHo doesn’t love a milkshake? I like that the coffee flavor comes from ice cream so it’s not so overwhelming. YUM!
Hezzi D,
Thank you. It was a tough job to find that perfect coffee/chocolate balance but SOMEONE had to do it! 🙂
That perfect balance is key!! This looks yummy!!!
Deanna,
Totally agree which is why it was so important to try this Mocha Madness Milkshake again and again and again!!
My favorite coffeeshop (you know the one) has a drink with Mocha. It’s like a grown-up milkshake, but I get mine without the whipped cream. Your recipe is pretty close to it and looks yummier. I think you’ve just saved me $5.50!
Alaiyo,
Too funny because I had a similar thought. However, I took mine one step further. There is NO iciness to Mocha Madness Milkshake…unlike our favorite coffeeshop’s version!!
That milkshake looks amazing! I could picture myself chillin’ with that milkshake. Thanks for sharing.
Michele,
Pull up a lounge chair and you are set!
Chocolate and Coffee…One of my all time favorite combos! Looks delicious!
Shannon,
Thanks so much!
Milkshakes definitely count as milk with a meal!! Looks great!!
Marion,
Thanks. I KNEW you would agree!
Coffee ice cream is my favorite!!! Your milk shake sounds phenomenal, Betsy!!!
Liz,
Thanks so much. I think phenomenal sums up Mocha Madness Milkshake, beautifully!
I love milkshakes and this post will have be browsing the ice cream section for a Mocha flavor. Fabulous #SundaySupper chillin’ selection.
Lea Ann,
Thank you. If you don’t find the mocha flavor in the store, Mocha Madness Milkshake is a BREEZE to make!
I would devour this milkshake lickity split that is for sure.
Marlene,
Be careful, it is VERY easy to drink the entire batch!! 😉
OMG, my daughter would love this one!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
Tara,
My pleasure. Maybe your daughter will share a sip or two!
Mocha? Milkshake? YES please!
Sarah,
Thank you!! 🙂
Great beverage but I love the accompanying video.
Foodie Stuntman,
Thanks so much! I appreciate the video love!!
Ooooo… Milkshakes are always a summer time favorite! Yum!
Serena,
There really is something so perfect about drinking milkshakes in summer! 🙂
I don’t think the chocolate sauce should be optional, it makes it look SO good!
Shannon,
I think you are on to something here!!
Mmmm milkshakes are dangerous!! Especially when they are filled with all this yumminess and look this good
Shaina,
You are right…milkshakes are VERY dangerous!!
We’ve been lucky so far and have been experiencing a mild summer. But I’ll take one of these regardless!
Kim,
I agree. Better to play it safe than sorry!!
Coffee ice cream is my favorite and we will be enjoying these very soon especially since Maryland is going to be hot hot hot next week.
Simply Gourmet,
Perfect timing for an icy cold, creamy and delicious Mocha Madness Milkshake! Stay cool!!
Beautiful! I think I should be making this, as I’m attempting to like the taste of coffee better. Desserts help in this regard. 🙂
Julie,
Thanks so much. Desserts certainly do help to make everything sweeter!
Coffee + chocolate = PERFECT! I love this combo!
The Wimpy Vegetarian,
Thanks so much!
The only way to have a milkshake or malt is CHOCOLATE, exactly the way you made yours! Oh how perfect for summer!!!!!
Roz,
I couldn’t agree more!!!
I love the way the chocolate looks in the glass – snaking around everywhere! Hope you had a great holiday weekend! HUGS
Momma’s Angel Baby,
Thank you! It was a great holiday weekend. I hope yours was wonderful, too!
how refreshing!
Cathy,
It really is quite refreshing!
This looks divine. I can’t help but wonder after I follow your recipe that makes 4 to 10 servings and I pour my 1, what do I do with the rest? Is there any way to break it down for a beautiful large milkshake just for me?
Mary,
If you don’t want one HUGE milkshake, simply divide the ingredients by a third or a half, depending on how ‘thirsty’ you are!
This was the best milkshake I have ever had. So thick; so tasty; not so thinning! But worth every single calorie. I was making it just for myself today, so I divided the recipe by 3. I shouldn’t have bothered doing that, because after I drank the milkshake I finished the pint of ice cream. I don’t recall seeing that in the recipe! I know you like to drink yours before your meal; for me this is a fantastic dessert. Thanks for another winner!
Mary,
So happy that you divided the recipe and it was, almost, enough!
These glasses are almost edible works of art inspired by Pollock! Look at the abstract patterns left by the chocolate especially that second pic! 😉
Look and sounds refreshing! Can’t wait to meet you at the Food and Wine Conference!
Amy,
Thank you so much. I have trouble drawing a straight line, so I REALLY appreciate your lovely Pollack comparison!
I am VERY psyched to meet you next week at the Food and Wine Conference!
Thank you for manning up and exhaustively researching the proper ratios of coffee flavor to chocolate flavor. 🙂
Shockingly Delicious,
It was a TOUGH job but someone just HAD to do it and I would have been SOOOO sad to ask someone else to handle it!
Coffee and chocolate?? This is DEFINITELY my kind of milkshake!
Coleen,
We think alike!!! 🙂
I’m starting to realize that I’ve had my Vitamix nearly a year, and I haven’t made one single milkshake in it! What is WRONG with me? I love milkshakes, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee! Thanks for the great reminder, Betsy!
Lori,
That’s what I’m here for…to trade you ideas like Mocha Madness Milkshake for your delicious Ice Cream Sundae Toppings!!!
Dear Ms. Cohen, What are your thoughts on putting some booze in this milkshake? Sincerely, Ms. Field.
ROFL!! Like I don’t already know the answer! Although this looks lovely in its non-boozy state. Great shake, Betsy!
Dear Ms. Field,
Some questions need not be asked!!! 😉
Love,
Mrs. Cohen
welll shoooooot! now I gotta go out and get me some ice cream! Baileys would be nice for the mommies & daddies too… hmmm…. fantastic! thanks for sharing!
Alice,
Baileys will be more than nice with this Mocha Madness Milkshake! Cheers!!
MMMM Betsy you did it again! Now I want this shake sooooo bad!! I don’t have a blender 🙁 wwaaaaaa
Bobbi,
Stir the ingredients REALLY quickly!!! Never let a minor detail, such as not owning a blender, stop you from something this delicious!
It’s ice cream month….so I have to have one of these right? 🙂
The Food Hunter,
I just don’t see any other option!!
Sounds like perfection in a glass 🙂 Yummy
Beate,
I have to admit…it is! Total yumminess!!
I love a good milkshake! Just as cold as ice cream, but not as hard, and you can drink it! This Mocha Madness is……driving me mad to make one!
Jamie,
Thanks you! You summed up milkshakes beautifully!!
What a fun summer chillin’ event! I think a mocha madness milkshake is what I need right now!
Marly,
I couldn’t agree more. You have to make this milkshake…NOW!! 😉
Yum. Delish, OMG. All that and more. I love milkshakes…and yes this would bring all the boys to the yard! 🙂
Creative Culinary,
That’s the plan!! 😉

Thalia,
Thank you so much for your comment. We have to share the YUM!
