The Chocolate Monkey is a rich, dessert-style blended cocktail that combines banana liqueur, creme de cacao, chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and chocolate syrup into a thick, creamy treat.
Add banana liqueur, creme de cacao, chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and chocolate syrup to a blender. Blend until thick, smooth, and fully combined. Pour into a chilled hurricane glass, top with whipped cream, and serve immediately.
Serve in a chilled hurricane glass as a thick chocolate-banana blend finished with whipped cream as the only garnish-like topping.
Pair this cocktail with chocolate lava cake, tiramisu, or simple butter cookies. It also works beautifully on its own as a liquid dessert after a light meal.
Inspired by the playful mix of tropical banana and rich chocolate, the Chocolate Monkey takes classic ice cream–parlor flavors and turns them into a fun, indulgent cocktail.
Ideal for dessert courses, celebrations, or any moment when you want a decadent, treat-like drink. It fits perfectly at parties where guests expect something sweet and over-the-top.
Expect a thick, velvety texture with intense chocolate notes layered over ripe banana sweetness. The whipped cream and cherry add a final creamy, fruity touch that makes each sip feel like a spoonful of dessert.
Playful, extravagant, and a little mischievous, the Chocolate Monkey is made for those who love bold, sweet flavors and aren’t afraid of a fully loaded dessert cocktail.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the banana liqueur and crème de cacao with banana syrup and additional chocolate syrup, keeping the same blended, ice-cream-based structure.
