  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 0.75 cup whole milk very cold
  • 0.5-1 tsp mint extract (not peppermint)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the creamy vanilla ice cream, cold whole milk, a splash of mint extract (start with ½ tsp and add more to taste), and a few drops of green food coloring into your blender.
  • Blend everything together until it's perfectly smooth and has that iconic vibrant green color. You can add more food coloring or mint extract if you prefer a bolder shade or flavor.
  • Once blended, pour your delicious shake into glasses. If desired, top with a dollop of light whipped cream and a single maraschino cherry.
  • Serve your refreshing, minty shake immediately and savor this homemade treat!

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider using a natural food coloring or skipping it entirely. You can also skip the whipped cream and cherries for a lighter version.
