Start by adding four scoops of chocolate ice cream (about two cups) to your blender. You can substitute vanilla ice cream if you have chocolate syrup on hand too.
Pour in half a cup of cold milk. (You can use whole milk or 2%).
Drizzle syrup downs the sides of your milkshake glass.

HOW TO MAKE A THICK MILKSHAKE
The the trick to making your creamy milkshake extra thick is to either add less milk or more ice cream. Adding more ice cream gives you a larger serving size too. If you’re splitting your chocolate milkshake between two people, I’d take this option.

Layer the ingredients in a blender in this order: 2/3 cup milk, flavor boost if using, and softened ice cream. Don't put in any mix-ins yet! Blend the milkshake. Starting on the lowest speed and working your way up to medium speed, blend until the milkshake is smooth and pourable, about 1 minute.
1 cup ice cream to 1/4 cup milk is a great ratio. Blend the shake. In a blender, combine the milk and ice cream and blend until smooth. Add any your mix-ins and blend them in to your desired consistency.
Whole milk: Whole milk is the most traditional type of milk used to make milkshakes, and it produces a creamy, thick shake with a rich flavor. Low-fat or non-fat milk: Low-fat or non-fat milk will produce a lighter, less creamy shake compared to whole milk.
I learned early on to add bananas to them to thicken them. Make sure the banana is cold or better yet, cut into pieces and frozen. Malt powder or malted milk powder also work well.
Raw eggs are quite nutritious, and don't really add any flavour to the milkshake. What they do add is a delicious creaminess and frothiness. Having said that, the egg is totally optional so if you are queasy about the idea, or worried about salmonella poisoning, just leave it out.
The trick to a thicker milkshake is the ice cream to milk ratio. Use 2 cups of ice cream to 1/2 cup of milk. You will need a spoon to eat this milkshake, not a straw! If you prefer to use a straw and want a thinner milkshake just add in more milk or less ice cream.
A small amount of Xanthan Gum when added to liquids can vastly increase the viscosity, making it useful for a variety of dairy products that require thickening. It is widely used in frozen desserts to prevent the crystallization and to improve the softness of final product.

The addition of ice works so well because it adds texture to a shake beyond the standard, creamy ingredients. It's essentially a way to thicken up a shake and add oomph beyond the standard milk. If you're a fan of smooth and thin shakes, however, you can forgo the ice.
Reduce Liquid Amount: If you find your shake becoming too watery, start with a smaller amount of liquid (milk, juice, etc.) and gradually add more if needed. You can always adjust the consistency to your preference. Blend Well: Blend the ingredients thoroughly to ensure that all components are well mixed and smooth.
If you add too little milk, the blender will not be able to mix any of the ingredients together and may get stuck. But if you add too much milk, your milkshake will come out closer to a liquid-like consistency, or worse, the ice cream and milk could separate.
A milkshake (sometimes simply called a shake) is a sweet beverage made by blending milk, ice cream, and flavorings or sweeteners such as butterscotch, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, or fruit syrup into a thick, sweet, cold mixture.
