Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (720 ml) vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) peppermint extract
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar or honey
- Few drops green food coloring
- Whipped cream
- Green sprinkles or sugar crystals
- Maraschino cherry
- Crushed Oreos or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend Base: Combine vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring in a blender, whirling the ingredients until they meld into a smooth, vividly green concoction.
- Flavor Calibration: Taste the milkshake and adjust the mint potency and sweetness by introducing more peppermint extract or sweetener as needed, ensuring a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- Serving Presentation: Pour the vibrant emerald milkshake into a pre-chilled glass, creating an inviting and refreshing beverage that promises a delightful sensory experience.
Notes
- Control Mint Intensity: Start with a small amount of peppermint extract and gradually add more to prevent overpowering the delicate ice cream flavor.
- Achieve Vibrant Color: Add green food coloring drop by drop, mixing thoroughly to create a consistent emerald shade without clumping.
- Serve Immediately Cold: Use a pre-chilled glass to maintain the milkshake’s frosty temperature and prevent rapid melting.
- Customize Texture: Adjust milk quantity for thicker or thinner consistency – less milk creates a denser shake, while more milk makes it more drinkable.
