This creamy mint chocolate chip milkshake blends velvety vanilla ice cream, cool mint, and crunchy chocolate chips for a nostalgic, frosty treat. Quick to make and endlessly adaptable, it’s perfect for parties, after-school snacks, or late-night cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream (about 1.5 pints), slightly softened
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • 2–3 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
  • Extra mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint sprig (for garnish, optional)
  • Chocolate syrup drizzle (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Scoop out the vanilla ice cream and let it soften on the counter for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add whole milk and heavy cream to the blender, then add the softened ice cream. If using, add green food coloring.
  3. Add peppermint extract and fresh mint leaves (if using). Blend on low for 10 seconds to distribute flavors. Taste and adjust mint if desired.
  4. Blend on medium until creamy and thick but sippable. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or ice cream as needed.
  5. Add mini chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate. Pulse the blender 2-3 times to swirl chocolate throughout without pulverizing.
  6. Pour milkshake into two tall glasses (or three smaller ones). Top with whipped cream, extra chocolate chips, and a mint sprig. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
  7. Serve immediately. If shake is too runny, add more ice cream and pulse. If too thick, thin with a splash of milk.

Notes

For dairy-free or vegan, use plant-based ice cream and milk. Adjust mint and chocolate amounts to taste. Chill glasses before serving for extra frosty shakes. Pulse chocolate chips for texture, not puree. Milkshake is best served immediately; leftovers can be frozen and re-blended.
