   Add a few scoops of vanilla ice cream to the steel canister. Fill it up about 3/4th of the way.

   Add a 1/2 cup of milk. Not too much or your shake will be runny.

3.

on 11/21/2007 This is technically a "black and white." A chocolate shake is made with chocolate ice cream as mentioned by Melody.

on 5/4/2007 As a former professional milkshake maker (4 glorious years working the ice cream counter at a Dari King), I highly recommend using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. Blue Bell's Dutch Chocolate ice cream makes a rich, rich shake.
