Best Ways to Enjoy It

This Brownie Batter Milkshake is best enjoyed chilled and fresh. Pair it with a few brownie chunks, chocolate chips, or even a side of crispy chicken strips if you’re feeling adventurous. For added flair, consider using decorative glasses or straws to elevate the presentation.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

While this milkshake is best served fresh, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a short time. Ideally, try to consume it within a day, as the texture may change. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. Just blend again before serving for optimal creaminess!

Pro Chef Tips

For an extra decadent experience, try using gourmet ice cream or adding a splash of coffee liqueur (for the adults!) to enhance the flavors.
If the milkshake is too thick, add a bit more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
Play around with the brownie mix—try adding nuts or chocolate chunks for a surprise texture!
