Um. I made you a boozy shake!
This past winter I partnered with West Elm to create four indulgent boozy milkshakes for summer, and they’re finally ready to share. I tasted this heavenly coconut hot fudge shake back in February before I became pregnant, and looking at these photos now I’m so glad I got that sip — these shakes are unbelievably good.
I’ve raved for years about my favorite Dairy Queen milkshake — the hot fudge shake — and it still holds up as one of the best. We just had one last weekend, and a few years ago I experimented with a bourbon version. There’s something about a hot fudge shake that outshines a plain vanilla or chocolate shake: the richness, the contrast of textures, the nostalgia. So naturally I wanted to make a coconut spin on that classic.
This version layers warm hot fudge with an icy coconut shake, then tops it with heaps of whipped cream, toasted coconut, and an extra chocolate drizzle. It’s creamy, boozy, and over-the-top — everything a summer shake should be.
The full recipe is available on the West Elm front & main blog. Make one for a celebration, a warm-weather treat, or any moment that calls for something decadent and playful. Cheers — enjoy every sip!
