Add ice cream, one scoop at a time. being careful not to overflow glass; stir again (gently). Add more seltzer, if necessary, and top with Redi-Whip if you like.
• 2. Feel free to play around with the amounts of chocolate and milk. A lower-fat version can be made by simply using skim milk and low-fat ice cream. Go ahead and use the Redi-Whip, anyway.
