# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream
02 - 1 cup whole milk
→ Flavorings
03 - 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

→ Garnish (optional)
06 - Whipped cream
07 - Extra mini chocolate chips
08 - Fresh mint leaves
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
02 - Add mini chocolate chips to the blender and pulse 2–3 times. Pulse just enough to distribute chips evenly throughout the shake without completely breaking them down.
03 - Pour milkshake into two tall glasses. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately while cold.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The peppermint extract delivers that cool mint flavor without any artificial aftertaste
- Those little chocolate chips stay suspended throughout, giving you something to chew between sips
- It comes together in literally five minutes, which feels like magic when cravings strike
02 -
- Pulsing the blender instead of running it continuously after adding chips keeps them from completely disappearing
- The shake thickens quickly if it sits, so blend right before serving for that perfect consistency
03 -
- Let your ice cream soften on the counter for five minutes before blending for smoother results
- Canned whipped cream holds its shape longer than homemade for these particular garnishes
