Customize Your Ninja Slushie Chocolate Milkshake Recipe
Make it dairy-free or lighter
Need to skip dairy or want a lighter option? This recipe adapts beautifully.
Swap the base with:
- Substitute plant-based alternatives like oat or almond milk for regular dairy milk.
- Replace heavy cream with coconut cream or non-dairy whipping alternatives.
- Plant-based chocolate syrup (check ingredients for suitability)
Don’t forget to blend the mix until completely smooth. The cocoa powder and syrup should fully dissolve before chilling.
Get creative with flavor add-ins
This milkshake is perfect for playing with flavors. Here’s how to switch it up without losing that rich chocolate base:
- Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to create a rich, nutty flavor profile
- Mix in crushed cookies or a drizzle of caramel syrup
- Try a mint extract drop or crushed candy canes for a cool bite
- Toss in a frozen banana before blending for a natural thickener
You can even split the mix and create two versions in one go.
No matter how you change it, the ninja slushie chocolate milkshake recipe gives you the freedom to make it yours. Just start with the base and build your flavor adventure from there.

FAQ about Ninja Slushie Chocolate Milkshake Recipe
Can I make chocolate milkshake slushie without a Ninja blender?
Yes, you can. Use a high-speed blender to combine the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container, freeze for about 45 minutes, then break it up and blend again. It won’t be exactly like the Ninja version, but the texture will be close enough to enjoy.
Can I use chocolate ice cream instead of syrup?
You sure can. Swap the syrup and part of the cream for two scoops of chocolate ice cream. It will make your milkshake thicker, creamier, and a bit sweeter. Just cut back on the added sugar to balance the flavor.
How do I make a vegan or dairy-free version?
It’s simple. Use plant-based options like almond or oat milk instead of whole milk, and replace the cream with coconut or soy cream. Choose a chocolate syrup that doesn’t contain dairy. The taste is just as satisfying, and you can adjust sweetness to your preference.
Can I add other flavors to my chocolate milkshake slushie?
Yes. Chocolate pairs well with many mix-ins. Try a spoonful of peanut butter, a drop of mint extract, or a frozen banana for added richness. You can also blend in crushed cookies or caramel syrup for fun variations.
Is this Ninja Slushie Chocolate Milkshake recipe kid-friendly?
Absolutely. It’s sweet, smooth, and caffeine-free. Kids love adding their own toppings like whipped cream or chocolate chips. It’s quick to prepare, so it makes a great after-school snack or party drink.
