Creamy shake with mint, chocolate chips, and whipped cream perfect for a sweet treat.

# What You Need:

→ Milkshake Base

01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream
02 - 1 cup whole milk
03 - 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
04 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
05 - 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)

07 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
08 - Additional chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Pour heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Add powdered sugar and beat with hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
02 - Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring in blender container. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
03 - Add mini chocolate chips to blender. Pulse 2-3 times to distribute chips throughout milkshake while maintaining small chunky pieces for texture.
04 - Divide milkshake evenly between two tall glasses, pouring carefully to avoid splashing.
05 - Remove whipped cream from refrigerator. Top each glass with a generous mound of whipped cream using a spoon.
06 - Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chocolate shavings over whipped cream. Add fresh mint leaves as finishing touch. Serve immediately with straws while cold.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The peppermint extract gives you that cool mint sensation without any artificial aftertaste
  • Pulsing the chips at the end keeps them suspended throughout instead of sinking to the bottom
02 -
  • Overblending the chocolate chips turns them into tiny specks rather than delicious little chunks throughout
  • Room temperature ingredients make sad, watery milkshakes, so keep everything ice cold until blending
03 -
  • Start with half the peppermint extract, blend, then add more drop by drop to find your perfect intensity
  • The shake waits for no one, so have your glasses ready and people stationed before you start blending
