2. Ingredients

• 3 large scoops of premium vanilla ice cream (about 1.5 cups)
• 1/2 cup whole milk (or substitute with almond milk for a lighter version)
• 3 tbsp chocolate syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (use pure extract for best flavor)
• Whipped cream (for topping – about 1/4 cup)
• 1 maraschino cherry (for garnish)
• Optional: Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for extra flair

For those looking for official Riverdale merchandise, you can find Riverdale-themed milkshake glasses on Amazon to complete your experience.

3. Equipment Needed

• Blender (a high-powered one works best for smooth shakes)
• Tall milkshake glass (preferably chilled)
• Long spoon or straw (metal straws give that authentic diner feel)

Step 1: Blend the Ice Cream and Milk

Start by adding three large scoops of vanilla ice cream into your blender. The quality of your ice cream makes all the difference – we recommend using a premium brand for that authentic Pop’s taste. Pour in the milk and blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy. The consistency should be thick but pourable—adjust the milk quantity if needed. If you love blended treats, you might also enjoy our James Bond Jell-O shots for your next party.

Step 2: Add Chocolate Syrup and Vanilla

Drizzle in the chocolate syrup and vanilla extract, then blend again for 10-15 seconds to fully incorporate the flavors. For an extra chocolatey Riverdale Pop’s milkshake recipe, add an extra tablespoon of syrup! The vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor, creating that perfect balance Pop’s is known for. If you’re a chocolate lover, you’ll adore our Sherlock Holmes tea cakes too.

Step 3: Pour and Top with Whipped Cream

Pour the blended milkshake into a tall glass, leaving a little room at the top. Generously swirl whipped cream over the shake, then drizzle with extra chocolate syrup for that authentic Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe look. The whipped cream should be fresh and fluffy – you can make your own or use high-quality canned whipped cream. For another diner-style treat, check out our Groundhog Day pancakes.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Finish your Riverdale Pop’s milkshake with a maraschino cherry on top. For extra fun, add chocolate shavings or colorful sprinkles. Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon for the ultimate diner experience! This shake pairs perfectly with our Oceans Eleven nacho platter for a full movie night spread.

4. Tips for the Perfect Milkshake

• Use slightly softened ice cream for easier blending (about 5-10 minutes out of the freezer)
• For a thicker shake, reduce the milk by a tablespoon or add an extra scoop of ice cream
• Experiment with flavored syrups like caramel or strawberry for a twist
• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the shake colder longer
• Use high-quality chocolate syrup for the best flavor

5. Variations

• Malted Version: Add 1 tbsp malt powder for a classic malted milkshake
• Peanut Butter Chocolate: Blend in 1 tbsp peanut butter for a Reese’s-inspired treat
• Vegan Option: Use dairy-free ice cream and coconut whipped cream
• Cookies and Cream: Add 2 crushed Oreo cookies before blending
• Spiked Version: Add 1 oz of chocolate liqueur for an adult version

6. Serving Suggestions

Pair your Riverdale Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe Milkshake with classic diner fare like burgers, fries, or a slice of apple pie. It’s also perfect for themed parties or as a sweet afternoon pick-me-up! For a complete Riverdale experience, serve alongside our peanut butter French toast for breakfast or brunch.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?
A: For the best texture, blend and serve immediately. If needed, store in the freezer for up to 30 minutes, then re-blend briefly. The whipped cream should always be added fresh.

Q: What’s the secret to a diner-style milkshake?
A: High-quality ice cream and just the right milk-to-ice-cream ratio create that signature creamy thickness. Many diners use commercial soft-serve machines, but our recipe recreates that texture at home.

Q: Can I make this without a blender?
A: While a blender works best, you can mix vigorously with a spoon or use an immersion blender in a pinch. The texture won’t be as smooth though.
