Ingredients

Scale

Milkshake Base

  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup whole or 2% milk (for creamier results)
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 2–3 drops red food coloring (optional, for pinkish color)

Toppings

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, crushed peppermint candies (roughly crushed if using a high-speed blender), chocolate chips, and red food coloring if using.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. Adjust the milk or ice cream quantities as needed to reach your preferred milkshake consistency.
  3. Adjust Flavor: Taste the milkshake and modify the peppermint extract and crushed candies to suit your flavor preference, whether you want a stronger or milder peppermint taste.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the milkshake into serving glasses. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and place a maraschino cherry on top. Optionally, sprinkle extra crushed peppermint candies for garnish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest milkshake.
  • Adjust peppermint extract carefully; too much can overpower the flavor.
  • The crushed peppermint candies add both flavor and a bit of texture—if using a high-speed blender, crush candies roughly to retain some crunch.
  • Red food coloring is optional but adds a festive pink tint perfect for holidays.
  • For a vegan option, substitute ice cream and milk with plant-based alternatives and use vegan whipped cream.
