- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups low-fat mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1/3 cup fat-free milk
- To make the chocolate sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cocoa. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar and cocoa are dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until cold.
- To make the shake: In a blender or food processor, combine the ice cream, milk, and 1/3 cup (80mL) of the chocolate sauce. Blend until smooth. Reserve the remaining chocolate sauce for another use.
