Brownie Milkshake Drinks are the answer when your sweet tooth just won’t leave you alone. Ever feel like regular milkshakes just… aren’t enough? Maybe it’s a movie night, or you had a tough day and want some edible joy without a ton of fuss. That, my friend, is exactly how I got hooked on these. Tried one at a fancy dessert cafe once, and—no kidding—it was like hugging a cloud of chocolate and never wanting to let go. Still thinking about it. So, if you crave a ridiculously easy, ultra-rich treat, you’re in the right spot.
What Is A Brownie Milkshake
So what even is a brownie milkshake? Well, it’s basically what happens when a killer slice of brownie meets old-school vanilla ice cream and cold milk. Sounds simple, but wow, it’s a game-changer. The brownies get all soft and fudgey in the shake, and every sip ends up tasting out-of-this-world—seriously, five-star restaurant stuff, for real.
You just grab ice cream, brownies (homemade or bought, let’s not stress), and some milk. Toss ’em into the blender. Suddenly, it’s a flavor bomb that’s rich, chocolatey, sometimes even chewy (little brownie bits, yum). Some folks add chocolate syrup, whipped cream, even sprinkles. I know one friend who swears by tossing in a few chocolate chips or a dash of espresso powder (I did it once, not mad about it). Kids and adults fight over these drinks at my house, no joke. 
Homemade Blender Milkshakes Are The Best
Let’s get real: making milkshakes at home is so much better than waiting in a drive-thru line for something that always tastes kinda “meh.” I mean, you control the creaminess, the sweetness—heck, the very fate of your cravings. Plus, if your brownies are a couple days old? This is the ultimate fix. Waste not, want not, right?
Blenders turn everything into magic. Soft ice cream, chunky brownie… it all comes together fast. I personally love adding an extra spoonful of the brownie for extra chew (sometimes I don’t even blend it all the way—just pulse, pour, and dig in). The cool thing is you don’t need fancy gadgets, either. Your trusty blender or even those bullet blenders work fine. And cleanup? Rinse and done.

Why Make It
Alright, let’s just say it. People love brownie milkshake drinks because—let’s be honest—they’re over-the-top. But in the best way.
- It’s super fast. I mean, five minutes and you’re holding dessert.
- You pick what goes in. Want it extra chocolatey? Go for it! Add caramel or nuts, if that’s your vibe.
- Totally customizable. Dairy-free, gluten-free, whatever-you-need friendly.
- Tastes like pure happiness. Like, bucket-list desserts kinda happiness.
In my family, someone always “accidentally” bakes too many brownies just so we have an excuse to throw them in the blender after dinner. We never get bored of them.
Serving Suggestions
Now, how do you serve these bad boys? Honestly, there are dozens of ways, but if you want to make it extra special or “Instagram-worthy,” here are my go-to moves:
- Pile on some whipped cream, then jam a mini brownie right on top. Dramatic but fun.
- Drizzle chocolate (or caramel!) sauce inside the glass before pouring in your milkshake. Looks fancy, feels easy.
- Top with a cherry or colorful sprinkles if you’re feeling playful.
Sometimes, I go wild and drop in a few chocolate chips or crushed cookies on top. No rules, just maximum fun and flavor.
Top Recipe Tips
Here’s the little stuff that makes a big difference. First, go with full-fat ice cream (no judgment, but the creamier the better). Don’t over-blend—leave some texture. Stale brownies actually work great, believe it or not. If you want a super thick shake, freeze your brownies for twenty minutes first.
If you accidentally add too much milk, just toss in a bit more ice cream or brownie. No one’s judging. Straws are cool, but spoons make it a whole adventure (sometimes I want to work for my dessert a little). Oh, and don’t stress about making it perfect. Every batch is a bit different. That’s half the fun.
Frequently Asked Questions about Brownie Milkshake Drinks
Can I make this if I don’t have a blender?
Yep! Try mashing everything together by hand or using a hand mixer. Won’t be as smooth, but still seriously tasty.
Do I have to use homemade brownies?
No way. Store-bought brownies work totally fine. Sometimes, I even use the corner pieces for extra chewiness.
Can I use non-dairy ice cream or milk?
Sure thing! Almond, oat, soy—whatever you like. Texture might change, but flavor still rocks.
Can I prep it in advance?
Honestly, it’s best fresh. But you can freeze leftovers and pulse in the blender again for a quick snack.
How do I make it thicker?
Less milk, more ice cream. Or freeze your milkshake for a few minutes before serving.
