Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Crème de menthe syrup (non-alcoholic or alcoholic, as preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Crème de cacao syrup (non-alcoholic or alcoholic, as preferred)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, crème de menthe syrup, and crème de cacao syrup.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the milkshake and adjust the flavor if necessary. Add a little more crème de menthe or crème de cacao syrup for a stronger minty or chocolatey flavor, respectively.
Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses, filling them almost to the top.
Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Sprinkle the chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the whipped cream for an added decorative touch.
Garnish with a mint leaf on top, if desired, and serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
