Tips for Making Chocolate Hazelnut Dream Shake

  • Freeze Your Glass: For an extra frosty experience, freeze your glass for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor of your chocolate shake.
  • Thicker Shake: Use less milk for a thicker shake; alternatively, add a scoop of protein powder for a nutritional boost.

Make-Ahead Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator for easy blending later.
  • If you want a frozen version, blend the mixture and pour it into an airtight container and freeze. When ready to enjoy, blend again with a splash of milk.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover shake can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 24 hours, although it’s best enjoyed fresh for the smoothest texture.

Freezing Chocolate Hazelnut Dream Shake

  • Freeze the shake in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
  • When ready to serve, let thaw for a few minutes, then blend again with a bit more milk for freshness.

Reheating Chocolate Hazelnut Dream Shake

  • This shake is best served cold, so reheating is not recommended.
  • If the shake does become too thick after freezing, simply blend it again with a little milk.

Is this shake gluten-free?

Yes, as long as the ingredients you use (like Nutella) are certified gluten-free, this shake can be gluten-free.

How can I make this shake healthier?

To make it healthier, you can use frozen bananas instead of ice cream, almond milk instead of regular milk, and less sugar.

Can I add protein powder to this shake?

What if I don’t have a blender?

If you don’t have a blender, you can also whisk the ingredients vigorously by hand, but the texture may not be as smooth.
