Ice cream is essential to the texture and appeal of this drink. You could substitute with vanilla gelato or a vanilla milkshake base, but the flavor and consistency will differ.
Blend the ingredients together with the ice cream until smooth and creamy for the best consistency, or stir vigorously if blending isn't available.
White crème de cacao keeps the drink light and creamy with a cleaner vanilla-chocolate flavor, while dark crème de cacao adds deeper chocolate notes and darker color.
Mix and blend just before serving for optimal texture. The drink will separate and become icy if left sitting.
You can omit the liqueurs and increase vanilla ice cream or add chocolate syrup for a virgin peppermint shake instead.
