Ingredients
Milkshake Ingredients
- 4 scoops (1/4 cup each) vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 drops green food coloring
Toppings
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Maraschino cherry, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the milkshake base: In a blender, combine 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 6 drops of green food coloring. Blend on high speed until smooth and evenly colored.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top generously with whipped cream and finish by placing a maraschino cherry on top for the classic touch.
Notes
- Adjust peppermint extract to taste for a milder or stronger mint flavor.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture; you can substitute with 2% or non-dairy milk, but it may slightly alter the creaminess.
- If you prefer a thicker shake, add an extra scoop of ice cream.
- For a natural coloring option, consider using spinach powder or matcha powder, though it may change the flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
