Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Whole milk

- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 pieces Maraschino cherries
Instructions
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, mint extract, and green food coloring.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again.
Taste the shake and adjust the mint extract if desired, being careful as mint extract is potent.
Pour the shake into two tall glasses, leaving a little room at the top for whipped cream.
Top each shake with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry on top and serve immediately with a straw.
