If someone says chocolate for breakfast is a bad idea, they should try this extra chocolate, dark and decadent iced cold chocolate shake. Don’t get me wrong I don’t encourage anyone to have a high calorie sweet breakfast like this on daily basis, I strongly believe that some extra chocolate as a booster is not a bad idea. Especially if you’ll be using good quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Garnish it according to your personal preference or don’t garnish it all! This chocolate deliciousness is good just as is, it is chocolicious, yummylicious and totally in cake_oli_cious style. So without lots of talking, here is the recipe, just look how easy it is ! Please do tell me what you think of it if you try!
