Prep 5 min Total 5 min Level Easy
Serves 2

Ingredients

Shake Base

  • 3 cups Vanilla bean ice cream — High quality, slightly softened
  • 0.5 cups Whole milk — Cold
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste — Or the scraped seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean
  • 0.25 teaspoon Peppermint extract — Adjust to taste depending on extract strength

Garnish

  • 0.5 cups Whipped cream (optional) — Freshly whipped
  • 2 pieces Fresh mint sprigs (optional) — For garnish

Instructions

  1. Place two tall serving glasses in the freezer to chill while you prepare the shake.

    ~1 min
    Chilled glasses help keep the milkshake thick and frosty for longer.

  2. In a blender, combine the vanilla bean ice cream, whole milk, vanilla bean paste, and peppermint extract.

    ~2 min
    Start with 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract, as it can be very strong. You can add another drop if you prefer a stronger mint flavor.

  3. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add another scoop of ice cream.

    ~1 min
    Do not over-blend, or the friction will melt the ice cream.

  4. Pour the milkshake into the chilled glasses. Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

    ~1 min
    Slap the mint sprig against the back of your hand before garnishing to release its aromatic oils.

Tips & Storage
  • For an adult version, substitute the peppermint extract with 1 ounce of Peppermint Schnapps or Crème de Menthe.
  • Using whole milk yields the creamiest texture, but you can use 2% or an oat milk alternative if preferred.
  • If you want a green tint to your mint shake, add a tiny drop of green liquid food coloring before blending.
  • Storage: Milkshakes are best enjoyed immediately. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in the freezer in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften before stirring and drinking.
