Milkshake is basically just ice cream and milk. If you want to make it thick, you can just use heavy cream and really high fat ice cream. Increase the ice cream amount and lower the cream or milk amount. You can make it pretty but serving it in a pretty glass container, top with cherry or shaved chocolate.
