Ingredients
- Chocolate ice cream
- 2 cups
- Milk
- 1 cup
- German chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup
- Whipped cream
- 1 cup, for topping

Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chocolate ice cream, milk, and German chocolate cake mix. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut flakes and chopped pecans. Stir frequently until they are lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Once blended, pour the milkshake mixture into two tall glasses, filling each glass to the brim.

Tips
- For an extra chocolate kick, add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the blender before mixing.
- If you want a thicker milkshake, reduce the amount of milk or add more ice cream.
- Consider substituting the chocolate ice cream with vanilla for a different flavor profile, while still retaining the German chocolate cake essence.
