Sweet cherries and cocoa carry the chocolate-cherry dessert flavor in this alcohol-free shake. A final chocolate pulse leaves small pieces instead of turning the entire drink into a plain chocolate base.

Step by step
Make it like a pro.
01
Check that the cherries are pitted and weigh 90 g edible frozen fruit. Finely chop the semisweet chocolate.
02
Blend the cherries and cold milk until the fruit is finely broken down. Add the cocoa and ice cream and blend briefly until even.
03
Pulse in all the chopped chocolate, leaving small pieces. Serve the full batch without whipped cream, cherry liqueur or extra cherries on top.
Does this Black Forest milkshake contain alcohol?+
No. The reference uses cherries, cocoa, milk, ice cream and chocolate, with no kirsch or other cherry liqueur. It is a chocolate-cherry dessert interpretation.
Can I use maraschino cherries for this shake?+
They are sweetened preserved cherries with a different flavor and sugar profile. They are not an equal substitution for the 90 g unsweetened sweet cherries in this reference.
Why is my Black Forest shake too thick to blend?+
Frozen cherries can pack tightly around the blades. Blend them with the milk first, scraping the jug if necessary, then add ice cream; extra milk changes the batch estimate.
