“Healing The Internet” – How This ‘Milkshake Man’ Is Winning Hearts Online

Recently, a video of a smiling older man putting together a decadent chocolate milkshake took Instagram by storm. Some social media users may be familiar with Larry (@thewhyteelephant_), who is sometimes nicknamed “The Milkshake Man” by certain fans. In the video, Larry shows us the step-by-step method to make an indulgent, creamy beverage. He starts by shaving some dark chocolate and keeping it ready for later use. Next, he reminds us to chill our glass in the freezer (while we begin to prep the milkshake ingredients).

To make the drink, he first adds a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to half a cup of milk. He stirs to combine them well. Next, he adds four scoops of chocolate ice cream to a blender jar, followed by the chocolate milk made earlier. He also adds a little more of the chocolate syrup. Finally comes the most decadent ingredient. He cuts a large slice of a drool-worthy chocolate cake that has many layers. He adds it to the jar with the rest of the milkshake ingredients. He mixes them in his trusty old blender. At one point, he has to open the jar and push the ingredients down with a spoon before blending again.

He pours the shake into the chilled glass and tops it with a big dollop of homemade chocolate whipped cream. He garnishes it with the chocolate shavings, adds a metal straw to the glass and presents the final result, saying, “That’s your chocolate cake milkshake. Happy Milkshake Monday.” Watch the full viral video below:
