I am strongly of the belief that vanilla ice cream can enhance any dessert. Pie, cake, cookies, brownies, more ice cream - everything is better with some vanilla ice cream on/in/around it. So once I saw the sign at Shake Shack advertising vanilla ice cream in hot chocolate, I got pretty excited. I was willing to make the sacrifice of "hot" cocoa becoming just "warm" or even "kinda cold" cocoa, if it meant vanilla ice cream in my favorite winter drink. In the end, however, the ice cream didn't change the temperature of the hot chocolate at all.It's occurred to me that it's possible that the way I ate/drank this was different from the way a lot of others would. I started by taking the top off and going in with a spoon, eating all the ice cream. Then I put the lid back on and drank it as hot chocolate. I can imagine that anyone who just let the ice cream melt and drank it all together might have a different experience temperature-wise, but the way I drank it I got nice cold ice cream followed by perfectly hot chocolate.
The salted peanut butter flavor was also great - the nutty flavor made it feel nice and cozy, perfect for Christmastime (which it was when I drank it, though this review is pretty late).
It didn't come with whipped cream, because... it came with ice cream. The sleeve on the cup was pretty adorable, and it was just under $6 for this pretty large size ($5 without ice cream).
