Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup chocolate syrup
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and cold. Take vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup, and peppermint extract out of the refrigerator.
- Add vanilla ice cream to a blender. Measure and pour the milk directly into the blender alongside the ice cream.
- Measure and add chocolate syrup to the blender, ensuring an even distribution of the sweet chocolate flavor.
- Add peppermint extract carefully, using the precise ¼ teaspoon to create a balanced mint flavor without overwhelming the milkshake.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy, with no visible ice cream chunks.
- Stop blending and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
- Pour the milkshake evenly into two tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream.
- Top each milkshake generously with whipped cream, creating a fluffy peak.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for an elegant and delicious garnish.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw, and enjoy the cool, refreshing chocolate mint flavor.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are cold for the best texture and smoothest blend.
- Blending Technique: Pulse initially to break down ice cream, then blend on high for a perfectly smooth consistency.
- Mint Extract Wisdom: Add peppermint extract gradually – it's potent! Start with less and adjust to taste.
- Garnish Game: Use high-quality chocolate shavings and fresh whipped cream for a gourmet touch.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra-cool presentation.
- Customization Tip: For a more indulgent version, use chocolate mint ice cream instead of vanilla.
- Make It Adult-Friendly: Add a splash of crème de menthe for a grown-up twist.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in the freezer for a short time if needed.
